Illuminati (3rd Degree)

Hmmm... So it seems that single driver designs don't really offer
an audible advantage. Of course, they are simpler to build.
My experience with my single driver is that it is clean and, if you use a good driver (like I did) there is a purity to the sound. However, it is not as "impressive" as a 3 way system (my other speakers are 3 way horns).
Stereophile did a review of 2 single driver speakers, primarily becuase they have a SET/single driver fanatic on staff (Art Dudley).
The single drivers they measured seemed inferior to most high end multi way designs, and yet, they were very listenable.
Maybe single drivers capture some aspect of listenability that we cannot measure yet.
