single driver speakers

Really nice cabinets but 35k drivers on those? These are outliers for sure so I wouldn’t make too many generalizations based upon them. 

This is the speaker for those who need more dynamics/SPL.

The Super Alnico High Output is not a 2 way design, but a 1.5 way design.

What separates it from a 2 way design?

The drivers are identical exept for the dustcap of the low frequency (LF) driver.
There is no power sucking, midrange muddying crossover.
The LF driver is cut off at 200Hz, so there is no phase and time misalignment as in a two way speaker.
The HF driver still functions as a single driver, single point source running full range.
2 drivers work less hard as 1 driver.
Same combined surface area as a 9.5" single driver.
Higher efficiency (97dB)
More dynamic performance than a single driver.
Will play louder than a single driver.
Will handle more complex music than a single driver and is just as fast.

key is they need tubes. Solid state amps don't normally control their woofers properly and it can be a real mess.
