Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers

I have to add that in case of forward-firing super tweeter placement should be aligned with the speakers.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Acoustic tweeter alignment is the single most important thing you can do along with protection for the driver. A single cap inline is not very much protection. 3/4th order is used for the protection and when lower crossover points are used. A 2.5khz crossover for a tweeter is not uncommon. The use of a super tweeter is usually because the crossover points are to high on a conventional 3 way with VC drivers.

Mid range is 250-2500hz. Planars and ribbons work the best for me. One driver I use is actually good from 300hz to 20Khz. Try to get that out of a VC driver and be happy.. A Dual Concentric is pretty close, still two drivers, though.. but the acoustic alignment is the key to that drivers success. I love Tannoy Lancaster series.. JBL C45s

Most people do not  know how to hear and judge a  speakers voicing. 
Here's the issue.
I know how to do it now. 
As stated above 
**midrange is 200hz-2khz**
Thats where my  ears are keen upon. 
A name is not going to make any impressions.
Wilson.
OK, its very popular, has lots of excellent comments, Great, should i be impressed by popular vote?
Why?
Sonus faber,, just the name sounds soooo exotic. 
If we place speakers behind a curtain and have a  Zu as one  among all the xover types.Immediaetly you are going to know which is the WBer (aka Zu) and which are all the xover types.
Its not really difficult you know.
But folks auditiona  Wilson, and just based on the name in Neon lights flashing, WILSON,, psychoacoustics sets in and that alone gets Wilson's advantage.
When truth is, behind the curtain, the Zu is the one that will most impress.
WBer's always win. 
Most folks have no clue how to hear, listen and judge a  speaker. 
WBers always win. 
Why?
Don't make  me, please dont repeat myself.

I use 0,33 mkf capacitor ,  can say  HP filter or 1 st order crossover for tweeter  Fostex Ft-96  EX-2 pared with 4 " TB-  1320 in my current models Lexington and Urban, did a lot experiment with 3 and 4 orders. Stopped on simple 

I want incredible transparency so I feel like I’m in the room. I want a vivid convincing sound stage. I want full range, so everything is present. I want dynamics and realistic spatial cues. I want natural delicate overtones that don’t sound like hyped treble pretending to be resolution.

Nothing I know of offers one stop shopping that successfully addresses all of those requirements. There are pros and cons to every philosophy and every choice. Pick your compromise(s).

Exactly, BINGO

What i am trying to erxpress is the WB configure I have voices music  the way I wanta  speaker to sound. 
Will anyone else agree,, is not important....Perfection?? 
Not sure what that is ina  speaker. Wilsons at $$$$$$ is exactly NOT NOT what I want a speaker to voice. 
That I can assue you, even w/o actually hearinga  Wilson, just looks tells me, not my cup of tea..
btw I just listened to some YT vids on the Zu's, Again, not my cup of tea.
I'm a  hifi/high end WBer.
These davidLouis work just fine as a  ultimate  speaker system. ...and about to get better when I add in the TBW31878,,then the Be/Nd tweeter. 
look out,,, 
Perfect as Scott says above...  perhaps not, But sure draws me in to WANT to hear  my classical selections.
