Lower distortion.
Loudspeakers often distort hundreds if not thousands of times more than the rest of the audio chain put together.
They can suffer from box distortion and / or breakup distortion. In a perfect world one driver could effortlessly cover the entire 20 Hz - 20 kHz. And the cone/ driver material would be infinitely strong and weigh next to nothing.

Or failing that, perhaps some form of Digital Signal Processing trickery can help make the sonic illusion feel more real. I can't help but notice that live coverage of a Formula 1 race on television now looks remarkably similar to that of a PlayStation 4 game!
At some point on the road to virtual reality they might even become indistinguishable.
