Perplexed on how single driver speakers can cover such a large Hz range


I googled till I was blue in the face. I've always wondered how in the world the cone of a single driver speaker, with no crossovers, at any given ten thousands of a second, be vibrating a hefy 60Hz and also a sizzling 10 kHz. To me it's like quantum mechanics. I don't understand. I just have to accept.

I’m a longstanding fan of single driver speakers. My main speakers are an upgraded pair of Voxativ speakers, i.e., their driver was upgraded to a more power magnet and a custom horn created that was tuned for upper mids. I’ve come to experience that the cabinet design greatly influences the depth for the lower frequencies. Single driver speakers are thin on deep bass, but I love their speed. The preferred dynamic range was achieved only with the inclusion of a pair of subs inserted into the 2 channel system. BTW, Voxativ now has single driver models with with built in subs.
