Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?


I don't mean electrostatic. How close to a full range speaker can you come with single driver ?

@tkukielk,
Smart decision to have a high quality cabinet built. The premium tier Cube Audio F 10 driver deserves this level of attention. I’m glad to read that you’re very happy with the sound quality.  Congratulations!

" Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? "In my experience, yes - absolutely. I have several pair of multidriver speakers & a pair of Tekton Lore S. The Lore S have a full range Seas driver & a Seas tweeter that ads a touch of sparkle on top: so maybe they are 'single driver+'. Regardless, they are fast and dynamic with an even frequency response, go down sufficiently low (unless you listen to alot of pipe organ music) and they are crisp w/o fatigue. Perfect for small combo & jazz. They can be overwhelmed by large orchestral works & some extremely busy music. But thats true of many multi driver speakers. Despite some posts here with absolute knowledge that ALL single driver are TERRIBLE, I know they have a place in my home. There are better speakers for loud party music and better speakers for breaking your ribs with bass pulses; but mine are perfect for listening in our living room. I will always own & enjoy the Lore S. They do some things very very well - in my home, to my ears, with my electronics. YMMV.

@jayctoy Here's what I was told (by Jon at Refined Audio) about building a small sealed box for a pair of Cube Audio Drivers:  "I have a <slight> preference for the presentation of the 8” Neo over the 10” Neo.. Not sure where/how you would crossover, but it may be necessary to put in a baffle step correction if you are crossing over at a low frequency....The 8” Neo in a sealed box about .7 to 1 cubic feet is amazing, I used that for a long time... The open baffle has a big, open soundstage. The sealed box will have a smaller, but better defined soundstage. So it is a matter of taste. I prefer the sealed box with the Cube speakers…"
With sub units augmenting < 100Hz, hence the discussion of crossing over...
