Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers

FR last place, just below next to last place of speakers I hate are The Famous (??)
Planars,, i hate Planars, next I hate FR.
I hate Planars and FR about equal,,and then Horns are OK, but still I hate horns also.
Give me the old standard MTM

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>   

HATE? Wow I hope I can soften that view a little.

What is a FR? You dislike all planars, and Horns too.

Why?  I'm one o those peps that "Never met a speaker, I didn't find something I didn't like about it"..

The best speakers that were ever designed, were designed around small planars.  MTMs have some drawbacks to. By design though they are the easiest to build with good results. The best MTMs I've ever heard were ribbon/planar/round driver hybrids..

I like a three way, line source (80-100 hz down not included) Servo controlled.
I like multi driver arrays.  To me more is better.. Bigger is better...
BUT I have some great  "little giants" in the mix too.. Giant Killers for sure...

Wow!

I have to add that in case of forward-firing super tweeter placement should be aligned with the speakers.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Acoustic tweeter alignment is the single most important thing you can do along with protection for the driver. A single cap inline is not very much protection. 3/4th order is used for the protection and when lower crossover points are used. A 2.5khz crossover for a tweeter is not uncommon. The use of a super tweeter is usually because the crossover points are to high on a conventional 3 way with VC drivers.

Mid range is 250-2500hz. Planars and ribbons work the best for me. One driver I use is actually good from 300hz to 20Khz. Try to get that out of a VC driver and be happy.. A Dual Concentric is pretty close, still two drivers, though.. but the acoustic alignment is the key to that drivers success. I love Tannoy Lancaster series.. JBL C45s
