These are 2 way with an eight inch woofer and paper cone tweeter. These are a very nice sounding pair of speakers with very well controlled bass and plenty of it and a mid-range that is exceptional. The high frequencies are detailed and warm (other JBL models have used titanium tweeters that some people say are to "screechy"; others love them) I do prefer the paper tweeters. These have solid heavy cabinets with a lovely real wood veneer finish.
