Single way or multiway

The founder and builder of the highly respected high-end speaker company Gauder Akustik, Dr. Gauder, says that using a full-range driver is very bad. He uses 3- to 4-way speakers with extremely complex 10th-order crossovers consisting of 58–60 components.

In contrast, some other well-known and equally respected speaker companies — such as Voxativ, Zu, Cube Audio, and Totem — use crossoverless designs.

Who is right, and who is wrong?

Less in the signal path the better. IMO.   i.e. less is more.

10th order wow that’s a lot of crossover components in the signal path. 

From my experience no crossover sounds very good, but not all single drivers can do full range (or close to it) well, there are limitations of course.

I’ve never heard of this manufacturer before, I had to google them.
