Can a Quality Full Range Speaker be the Limiting Component in a system?


Can a quality full range speaker be the limiting component in a system?

Can it be surpassed by the quality / performance of the upstream chain? Therefore, becoming the bottleneck for overall system performance?

No? Why?

Yes? How so?

Examples for both scenarios, if you have them.

For the sake of argument, assume that the speaker's performance has been fully optimized. In other words, the room, cabling, isolation, setup/positioning etc are not factors. In other words, assume it's the best it can be.

Thank You!

I think there is some confusion here, I assume David meant a full range "speaker" meaning a loudspeaker with presumably multiple drivers. It seems that some are assuming he meant a single full range driver. David can you clarify what you meant because those are two very different discussions. Thanks!
