Ascends are extremely clear on vocals and I would say are the most practical for your situation. Plus you get bass, and good dynamic range. If you can live with a pure, clean midrange and forgo the rest of the frequency spectrum then single drivers are great. A bigger single driver helps but anything like a whizzer cone destroys the sound IMHO. And my experience with transmission line to boost bass(Meadowlark) is that you get more bass but it's slow and bloated.
Single driver vs. mini monitor
I'm putting together a *small* second system (HT and 2-channel). I would like some advice on trade-offs between single driver speakers (Gallo Micro, KEF2005) and mini monitors (Triangle Titus 202, Paradigm Atom/Titan, Ascend CBM170). Does the extra size and tweeter in the monitors result in a better sound? Are these the right speakers for me to be looking at?
Thanks for your help!
