My 2 cents:
- Most speakers under $2k have junk crossovers, resonant cabinets and mismatched drivers. You're losing a lot of detail in the midrange and you don't even know it. It's only clear after you listen to a decent pair of single driver speakers.
- Most speakers with the exception of true "full-range" towers don't extend past 50Hz. So the whole "fullrange drivers can't do bass" argument is so ignorant to the fact that most speakers use midrange drivers for bass. Most speakers benefit from a sub. Nobody is going to convince me that Harbeth P3SR or KEF LS50 have deep bass.
- If you live in a reasonably sized flat you're not going to push the volume to night club levels. My guests often complained that the music was too loud on my small single driver speakers. But the same could be said about a large Bluetooth speaker. How much volume do you need?
These factors have convinced me to buy the Closer Acoustics OGY blind and I have no regrets. Just find me a better (new) speaker under $2k. The midrange, treble and imaging is step up from the KEF LS50 Meta. The bass is fast and punchy thanks to the transmission line. But don't expect deep full-bodied bass. You can get that from a subwoofer.
I'm also surprised by the enthusiasm surrounding coaxial drivers which exhibit a lot of the same problems as single driver speakers: doppler effect, weaker bass due to smaller speaker excursion (the woofer cone acts as a horn, a moving horn is problematic). And on top of that, coaxial drivers have crossovers and the multiple drivers aren't moving at the same speed causing a time delay.
