What are "Full range speaker"


I wonder what constitutes a so called "full range speaker"?

Besides the low frequency reproduction, what are other things that are typical of a full range speaker?

I have a pair of Spendor S8 and are they qualified as full range speaker?

Hey, Ohhwy61:

Would you consider the Avantegarde Solo to be full range (and a single driver) speaker?

(It is kind of a quasi full range single driver speaker. I agree with you that regular dynamic type speakers do not lend themselves to single driver/full range speakers.)
The AV Solo is a two way system with a separate woofer and tweeter drivers. Besides, it doesn't go deep enough in the bass.

I'm still trying to understand S23chang's comments.
