FR = Full Range .. HA! I get it
unfortunately, despite your passion, you are incorrect. Full range drivers as dletch2 pointed out are inherently flawed, just like all speakers are inherently flawed. This is the reason they are the most critical component. Obviously you prefer to live with the flaws inherent in FR drivers. However, others prefer to live with the flaws in other designs.. my preference is horns as you can see from my system.

You beat me to this valid assesstion of Quote *FULL RANGE*
This very thought occured to me, just now while having morning coffee, and now i see your post, which has validity, but must be examined carefully.
FR = not full range. There is a post above somewhere on this topic, a member has tried them all, and from exp , suggests all FR need a additive tweet.
No big de4al.
Yep you heard me right no big crisis there.
*Flaws*
I've only heard this chinese clone of Diatone 6.5, In my YT vid I exclim has all things, highs, mids, bass.
Thats not true,
has bass, has mids, highs are rolled off.Terribly, No big complaint from me, AS classical muisc is 90% and in fact most music is 90% midrange, HOWEVER to have jazz/female vocals to have proper *ambience** you absoluetly must have shimmering/crystline sonics in the upper registers.
Otherwise ya ain't got nothing.
Simple solution, \add a 21st Century tweeter.
Issue resolved. TI Compression horn which can be found in the hundreds of offerings , from super budget to braek the bank priced.
Compression tweets are the finest driver in high fq's, 2nd to none
So we will have the
Midrange/bass fq's being voiced by the so misnomer driver *The Full Range* and the high fq's being delivered by the world calss , super high fidelity, 21st C driver = The Compression Horn
There now argue your case that all speakers are flawed.
Which is both true and not true.
Box/xover/Seas ScanSpeaks/Troels Gravensen are flawed to the point they are now The Dinasaur line of <,THe Wet Blanket> experience in speakers.
THese old flawed low efficient speakers are not just flawed, but useless when heard next to just about any *Fukll Range/TI Compression* set up.
This is the point of my entire postings.
Flawed yes they are, HOWEVER that minisclue lack of high fq's can be easily overcome addinga TI Horn,.
Whereas low efficient speakers, the flaws are glaring, permament, and worthless when paired with any tube amplification system.
Cables, wires, sources, amps, boutique caps, boutique resistors, go ahead and tweak all, You will only gaina Mini-Scule nuance in each component over low price to high priced.
Speakers , now here is the Elephant in the room nuance/tweak.
Speakers are everything when pair with tube amplification.
Full Range is a misnomer, Yet at least there is no wet blanket over the music such as any speaker with lower than 90db will offer.
Which is why my threshold point in sens is 94db/higher. This elimintes all traditional box/xover style The Dinasaurs.
I rest my case.
