Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers

I am sure you realize that your room size will dictate many things.  A small acoustic space will give you some advantages.  A really good 2 way without a crossover may prove to be wonderful...fill in the bottom with a single or a pair of subs and celebrate!
Good hunting!

What a great hobby this is. I am on a shoestring budget (thanks WAF), so only purchase used and only buy something after selling something else. Latest gig is AN 8" alnico drivers, and an Aragon Soundstage pre and Acurus A250 power. Listening volume hovers around 60-62 db, so little worry about the amp-to-driver power handling ratio. Krall sounds awesome, so do Nouela and Nils Lofgren. Late night solo listening is magic. Cheers all.

Hi Erik-Squires,
Just for clarification:  When you mentioned "A full-range speaker has only one voice coil, and no caps", I know you were referring to capacitors and not a speaker dust cap.

HA Ha

Truth is 
Wide bands  take top prize in  that ever elusive most difficult fz range to get neutral, natural, non colored, no fatigue, Top Dawgs.
Obviously he has not ever heard a  hifi Wide Band.
Good grief....
