@czarivey - 'single driver speakers can do good only on vocals and string quartets nothing else will be sounding up to par no matter whatcha do.'
You have obviously not listened to the latest in single driver speakers. I also heard the Cube at AXPONA and agree with tutetibiimperes on how good they sounded. I have been the very happy owner of a pair of Omega Super Alnico Monitors, which are single driver speakers, and they are very good not only on 'small' music ranging from small acoustic combos, string quarters, Schumann vocal pieces, but also on 'larger' and more expansive music including Mahler (1st for me), Pink Floyd, the Who, and movie soundtracks (e.g., Pirates of Caribbean, Gladiator). Granted, one will not get the deepest vestiges of bass or sustained very high SPLs from a 6.5 inch driver, but they sure can convey an incredibly satisfying and realistic aural picture across a very wide spectrum of musical styles. You owe it to yourself to go out and hear what today's designers using single drivers are capable of achieving.
