Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers

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

Don't listen to this guy, He has absoluetly no idea what the heck he is blabbing,
Guy says FR, last place,hahahaha
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....

OP, mentions a SET amp, = I hate SET amplification.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hahaha
Who is this guy??
Again he obviously has not hheard a SET amp. 
SETs are wonderful, 
They offer all the power one could ever need/want/wish for to drivea   nice dual low db woofer + WBer + tweeter.

PP or SET your free choice..
Put that guy on ignore.

SETs low powered he say,
SETs offer up to 20++ wattage. far more than needed to push a  nice Wide Band + low sns woofer + tweeter 3 way..
1st reseach then make a comment, please

Someone mentioned WBers have some issues with midrange, bass and highs.
Yes and no, 
there are beautiful sounding midrange WBers and then there are just OK/sos midrange sounding WBers.
Obviously we are all only interested in top dawgs.
Bass, I get pretty  goodbass out the DLVX8 and the DLW4.
The Seas W18E001's add  some nuances 40hz-1600hz
Highs?
No problem
Paper tweet + Mundorf 2.2 SESGO cap, adds some charms.
The whizzer in the DLVX8 is very accurate on vocals and  all instrumentation in jazz/classical/piano, Very neutral.
I've looked over all the newest WBers,  
The 2 that i can afford and find pretty good are the DavidLouis and Tang  Band
About to add a  Tang Band W31878 Its been out some time now, maybe 8 years, has that spiked center phase pulg which eliminates beaming.
Can't wait to add it to the DLVX8 and DLW4.
It will be a  sort of 3 way WBer with dual W18's+ tweeter.
Adding the TBW31878 will make my design the very 1st of its kind.
No one else in the Inet  has made a  WBer 3 way.
My concept is the 1st of its kind.
The TB1878 has to sing as good/better than the W8+W4 or it can not stay.
