A good conpromise is to use a full range with bass helper. The B200 I use is an 8 inch driver and does treble just fine to my ears, and the specs bear out what I hear. It's only used down to 200hZ, where a pair of Eminence Alpha 15 inch woofers take over on each side, so no lack of treble and no lack of bass either.

:think: KEF B200 data sheets usually seem to say the B200 freq range is 25 - 3,500 Hz ...

KEF often put a T27 tweeter in the box to do the rest.

Careful Jerry :shhh:, there's ladies on this forum and it's nice to hear a female perspecitve on hifi so we don't want to put them off...
Post edited to spare any blushes ... although I have to confess that most of the women I know would have found my comment amusing.
... but maybe that just says something about the women I know .... :think:
