The things I like best about a good wide-range drivers are coherence and immediacy; like nothing else I know of.
But awareness of the limited range (certainly not FR), dynamics (certainly not natural on most music) and any response anomalies (over the top, in most cases) quickly come to the fore, IMO.
Meanwhile, it has come to the point for me that in order to really enjoy "reproduced" music I need many or even most of the informational cues I get from live music, albeit they wind up "arranged" somewhat differently via "playback".
Yes, people should certainly get what they want/deserve out of music, but since Real Music is Art, it does not simply yield itself up, just like that, but it must be met in dialog.
And IMO there is simply more to the musical dialog than can be successfully gotten via any single driver I have heard or, based on experince, heard of. They are so limited by genre.
This is not to say I begrudge anyone his happiness vis-a-vis a single driver, but rather I admit that I tend to take that person's recommendations under advisement.
This is to say that I did from the outset of this thread take the references to the Silbatone as a sort of fraternal recommendation, a la Feastrex, etc., (so, please correct me if I'm wrong).
Best regards,
