Having owned Druids, Definitions, and now the Definition Pro's, I'll chime in.
The Definitions add very deep bass that the Druids don't by themselves. They also sound bigger but need more room to breathe. Resolution is greater but at the expense of being a bit pickier with upstream components.
These speakers have a house sound that is different from what conventional speakers offer. Yes, there have been other single-driver speakers but none that I know of will play very loudly with authority on challenging fare. Shout is a concern with hi-efficiency and single-driver speakers while the Druids especially are immune to this issue.
The Druids aren't perfect but I wouldn't consider anything else in its price range for my own tastes. Uniformity of tone, preservation of instrumental relationships, low- and high-level dynamic presentation, midrange bliss, and PRAT are all incredible with these speakers.
