looking for a speaker with one driver.


I want to build 300b amps (4W/ch) and looking forward to find a full-range speaker with just one driver. Any experience will be welcomed to share. I might also consider to use it with separate tweeter.
I listen mostly to progressive rock of 70's and jazz of 70's and 80's(King Crimson, Van Der Graaf...; Weather Report, Brand X, Al DiMeola)

One of the best DIY single-driver/fullrange speakers is the Hammer Dynamics Super12's. The super12's use a 12" driver w/ a supertweeter above 10kHz. Because of it's design and cabinet size, the Super's rock w/ terrific bass, something not often found in single-drivers with a HUGE cabinet (bass relfex) or horn. Beyond that, the Super12 is supposed to have great clarity, delicasy, coherence, imaging, etc.

The drivers and directions cost $650 or so and the cablinet is extremely easy to build.

There is a is a section dedicated to the Super12's on The Single Driver Website, which is an unbelievable source for information. Their forum is awesome, lots of serious experts to help out the beginners.
