I (finally) found a variation on the single-driver concept that sounds great to me. Check out the Hawthorne Audio site. Great folks, wonderful product. This uses, as I understand it, a "pro" driver concentric design. A tad "rolled" on top, none of that hideous tilt in the upper range which every other single driver speaker I tried displayed. I have tried Omega, Hornshoppe. Both fell apart for me other than the "speed" criteria. Both had me wondering what the hell others like about them because the tonality seems all wrong to me. I think they actually "ring" at some frequencies. Listen to the Hawthorne. It is easy to appreciate, getting you into the performance, and the price is more than fair.

Feel free to express yourself and your thoughts about the Single Driver design speakers in this thread.
Ideas, your projects, pics, experiances are all fun and welcome.
From my experiance with at least two SD commercial design that actually worked like a charm, I have to say that I am seriously concidering it as my next DIY project.
Awesome speakers when done right.
