Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?


I don't mean electrostatic. How close to a full range speaker can you come with single driver ?

What they more or less avoid, as compared to multi-way systems, is comb-filter problems of two or more drivers interfering with each other.  
The Comb filtering is what causes dips off axis.  Hence poor dispersion. 
I built these Aveburys by Woden Design, using Mark Audio 12p drivers.

In the UK you can get great advice directly from the designer and from KJF Audio who can supply all the hardware. About £250 for the drivers and other bits and pieces, £80 for the plans, and £150 for quality ply. And the cost of your own time over a couple of weekends. For that money and time it is easy to find out just how great a back loaded full range horn can sound.  If you have the space of course - one of the routes out of the compromises is a very big cabinet. These are 6’ high. 
I'd rather pass a gallstone HA. Actually I have single-driver speakers, of course it's all in the application as anything else. Plus we choose our compromises.
Once you listen to a single driver speaker, you will never go back to a multi-driver speaker that is nothing more than a symphony of disjointed monstrosity :-)
