Single driver point source speakers vs. the world?

Okay, I've been a 'stat guy the majority of my audio life.

Recently I acquired a humble speaker that has me rethinking my entire approach to audio, i.e., big power amp requirements driving mass amounts of current to 'stats.

The speaker I'm referring to is the Cain & Cain Abby. 8 watts of 300b SET amplification into these speakers is as good as I've heard. No, they don't do bass but they excel at everything else. So the ? for those with point source design experience is does the lack of a crossover in designs equate to these types of results in other point source or single driver designs?

Texas42,

You did get "it" some of us are just less tolerant to high distortion speakers with that certain "sound".

Hi-fi being hi-fi every individual has a version of what sounds good to them. Subjectively there can be no right or wrong, you like what you like.......

The science ... dats another story..

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Omega speakers by Louis Chochos. They are some of the finest single driver, no crossover speakers available at any price.

Ballan,

The Omega Speakers have many models, is there one in particular you want to discuss?

@Weseixas: Any and all. I like them all, but the Super 5 and Stick are my favorites.

I do agree with you about his lineup, very extensive and covers the genre very well. It does seem surprising Omega was not mentioned before.....
