Blindfold Speaker testing

" Why the rejection?"
I’ll talk for myself. I have owned and heard some of the most reknowned wideband drivers ever built. I do agree they excel in the mids. but every wideband Ive ever had or heard, needed at the minimum a supertweeter for over 8khz and subs crossed quite high.
so while they are magic in the mids, they have no balls nor any super HF. Contrary to you, while I appreciate pure mids, not to the extent that ill accept to have the purest mids without enough bass.
just like in headphone world. the Raal sr-1 are widely known as the most transparent in the mids. yet people eventually move on cause they seriously lacks bass.

I cannot live with a pure wideband, I need a supertweeter and woofer or subs, turning that system effectively into a 3-way.

Some might be able to live with say a 8" wideband without any bass of HF support, but many cant. 

" You folks are just resisting change, failing to embrace the new technology."
wideband along horns are the opposite of new tech, they were the first speaker desings.

" Full Range/High Sens, is EXACTLY the answer to my searching."
glad your happy!
personally i found happiness in a diy hi-eff 3-way with 15’’ woofers

using a low powered tube amplifier during your "blindfold test" for all the speakers being tested. That is after all what makes a FR speaker shine

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes it may bea  issue **all things being equal** as you point out , high sens really shine best with SET's. 
So indeed , we will need 2 amplifications. 
For good or bad, I plan to pair the high sens with the Defy7. 
Not sure how thats going to work out til its all set up.
maybe not a  match made in heaven, they'll just have to learn to get along. 
I will keep all posted on the results. 
Folks  who live in my  area are welcomed to have a listen. Sometime in Sept should be up and running. 
If you care to, bring your speakers.

stevie wonder texts andrea bocelli - yo a-b... come over help me listen to a few sets of speakers... 

Here is a example of bass response ina   high sens speaker, Of course I would never pay $$$$ for this speaker, when I can order the single driver and build my own design for alottt less.
The bass at 5:44 has my lil comp speakers rattling like a  SUB WOOFER and about to vibrate off the desk. 
Folks this bass is all you need = sub not needed.

The power of High sens drivers, WOW
My intent was to employ as a  midrange, but hey is the bass is there, out  comes the Seas dual W18E001/with gorgeous Mundor Supreme caps. 
One heck of a  shootout there, Single driver bass vs DUAL!!! W18E001's/Mundorf SESGO+ Supreme Silver.
Will keep you guys posted on that fast gun draw. 

your using youtube videos to judge bass response.
