single driver speakers

Someone please help me out here...

I am struggling to understand how a single driver system can sound anywhere near as good as a multiple-driver system with crossovers...

I understand that crossovers and multiple drivers can have issues with interference, phase, etc - but those drawbacks would seem to be vastly outweighed by the increased frequency response and clarity within a frequency spectrum that a multi-driver system produces.

I see these

and just can not wrap my mind around how they could sound better than a multi-driver system costing 1/10 as much. (no knock intended on the seller of these speakers, I was just browsing listings and saw them so it made me wonder)

Thanks!

Voxativ used like with  Pure Audio Project use woofers  just formidbass,low bass the purity of the single driver can shine 
But No 1 driver can do it all.  I havd iwned,No names these 15 inch 
Full range drivers ,in s proper large ,cabinet, they too have peaks 
At certain midrange frequencies that can be stringent .
I now have a excellent monitor- monitor sudio New Studio coupled to their engineered stands.
Flanked by good Subwoofers. And sounds Excellent- don't let the price throw you off it is more accurate then any speaker under $10k
A Mega best buy,for under $2k buy at least 1 very good subwoofer
I have their Silver W12selling st 45% off ,older model.,there are several very good Brands of Subwoofers
