@grannyring Bill, are you thinking about buying a full commercial unit, or building your own using the drivers? 
Buying a commercial unit.   I am not good with woodworking! I am thinking of the new Mini Basis due to the better bass response. 
I am wondering who else has heard various single driver systems and can compare the results.  I would love to hear something like the big AER system with the huge back-load horn and front wave-guide horn. 

I know that Classic Audio has a field coil model (T-8), but, I have not heard that one either.  I heard a Classic Audio prototype that used a fullrange field coil in combination with a woofer module.  In terms of vibrancy and immediacy, which I love about these types of speakers, it was fantastic.  But, it had a hard edge to transients and was very sibilant; a work in progress, but, I do hope to hear it with that issue tamed.

The other good thing about most of these fullrange systems is that they work so well with the kinds of amps I favor, which is low-powered amps.  I own three tube amps, the most powerful being rated at 6.5 watts per channel.  
Received my Nenuphar..

You guys are right on the amp pairing, the best pairing is with the SIT-2, Srajan is spot on in his assessment. SIT-2 with its low damping factor brought life to the music, there’s deep bass, meat on the bones with vocals while the highs isn’t affected. Schiit Aegir monoblocks with >100 DF is behind SIT-2 but the jump to >150 DF of the BHK250 is night and day compare to the Schiit, with the BHK music got noticeably thinner, colder... wow I never knew DF have such huge impact, glad I got my hand on the SIT-2. I would of been happy with the Aegirs, but definitely would not be happy with the BHK, it’s that big a difference.  The BHK was very good with my Cornwall III, another instance of synergy is everything in hifi audio.
