When you want the best quality in sound reproduction, you need to use 2-way component speakers to produce high and mid-range frequency sounds. Component speakers are designed such that there are four speakers per set. The larger two speakers are designed to produce either mid-range or low (bass) frequencies. The two smaller speakers are designed to produce the high frequencies. This way, the speakers sound better and can handle more power. Component speakers require a part called a crossover or filter. This device splits the input frequency ranges so that the lows go to the big speaker and the highs go to the small speaker.
