Romy:

I was not aware that manufacturers of multidriver system let you attenuate individual drivers. I guess if you multi-amp, then you have control at that level. I have never encountered such a system so I cannot say, but if it is an option, then yes, it is a big advantage of multi-way over single driver.

In general though, people completely ignore room setup and it has a big impact on sound, up to lower midrange. You can do a lot to manipulate sound via placement, which is true of single and multi of course.

It would be interesting to see how many people who have off the shelf multiway system have actually attenuated an individual driver.
