I imagine this excellent transient response was limited to a narrow frequency band that was emphasized by the specific recording?

Yes, it is was very accurate guess: it was the “narrow frequency” and it WAS to a degree emphasized by the specific recording. I was not able to play anything as the person who run the show room was not my favorite guy in audio, in fact I do not like him at all. Though I need to admit the he did not play a “girl with banjo” only but he played a variety of “light audio”

They did sound fundamentally different than any speakers I had heard at the time when listening to some very simple acoustic music, but completely fell apart on large symphonic music.

I had the same experience many times with others and with my own audio endeavors’ never had this happens to multi-channel system systems however. I do don’t know the reason and Doppler distortion would be too primitive reasoning to argue. Still, it looks like, purely empirically that multi-channel, not to mention the multi-amp systems are immune to this problems.

I'm not so sure I'm willing to completely give up on the idea of single driver systems having some unique properties which are worthwhile to study and perhaps learn from. 

And this is perfectly fine. My strong opposition to single driver is a guidance for ME ONLY do not use single drivers for my own playback. It is not a public instruction or an attempt to legislate for others. Audio is a very personal matter. It is like the style of underwear you wear. You find what works to satisfy you current set of expectations and demands and put you best efforts to render it. Everything else is less relevant.
