I have had single driver speakers with subs , Tannoy the only ones I liked were there top 2 Canterbury or Westminster ,
active speakers the amplification too low quality not in the league of. Quality separate amps for example PassLabs , Ayre, Coda Gryphon ,
this is why i guess I have to try audioning speakers to my electronics
which too I am looking to purchase . Having owned a Audiostore fir almost 10 years
on average onky 25% of the purchase onky goes into the speaker ,including packaging ,the rest R&D marketing and markup, value I recently heard the Marten Oscar trio for $13 k a very nicely balanced Loudspeakers , I like the MBZl 126 monitors which require subs for the bottom end are very good buyt 3-6 month waiting list ,and prepay up front I would never do that, not very sound , many Audiostores willnot let you demo speakers at your home ,brick and mortar stores are few and far between . If you want to spend over $20 k+ it’s much easier to find
your optimum speaker for the Xovers as well as drivers and cabinets are far more
engineered to a higher standard, that’s why I mentioned $20k
