Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers

The db/fq chart does have some value.
I know/ can understand  that a chart with too many peaks/dips and the size of each dip/peak, does equate to either superior sound or equates to midrange stress aka distortion, coloration, = aka The Dreaded Mionster n who goes by the name Monster Fatigue.

The davidlouis W4 has a very nice clean relatively smooth chart, vs the Dayton W3 from parts Express
DavidLouis W4 @ $175/pr
vs
DaytonW3 @ $60/pr.

Here is the Tang Band W3 1878 chart.
Nearly identical to the DavidLouis W4., except the DL W4 has big roll off on highs.
I can just tell from looking at this chart this speaker sounds super fidelity.
Which is why TB has it priced correctly. $130/each.
Their W4 with special PP fetches $230 EACH!!!
TB1878 chart.
No roll off past 20khz!!! that entire chart looks gorgeous.



The thing is hitting 60hz’s @ 80db,, UNREALLLL

ok just found the chart for the DavidLouis W4. Might be back in stock, not sure
anywayy
db/fq chart shows very poor behavior. Dips and peaks all over and has the highs extended past 20khz.
In my ststem the highs seem rolled off at 12khz,, 
So this proves charts are not not that helpful/
With a  chart like this, I would believe the speaker  has stressed/distorted mids. 
Which it does not.
 Mids have no stress, clean, clear and good bass,  at 80hz shows 85db = valid, not hyped. 
I have no idea which is the superior speaker
DLW4 Nd
or
TBW31878 Nd (pill type magnet)

Both  will have a  home in my system.

@mozartfan Dont look on chart too much, get measur Microphone or
much more simple advice, if you believe you davidlouis or any one single driver got good performance . take equalizer and while playing raise 200-300 hz up
and you will see  big difference

Interesting
I recall a  ONKYO amp I had back in the 80's had a  built in  5 level EQ.
I liked playing with it.
I just ran all EQ's all the way up except the middle eq.

I'm not that interested in the EQ test, although as you say might show some weakness.
You might find usage as you design and build for customers.
I'm pretty happy with the 2 DL's, and am sure the additon of  the Tang band W3 will also add some nice charms. 
I knid of ... you know what,,,In fact what you are saying has some truth...The DLVX8 all by iteslf is quite livable, I have no issues with it as a stand alone speaker
But thought, since I have the DLW4 just sitting in the closet,,why not see what happens along with the DLVX8. BINGO,,the EQ's missing in the DLVX8 were padded by the EQ's in the DLW4. Diana Kralls voice just came to life. 
Apparently whatever EQ's were weak in the DLVX8 were padded by the EQ's in the W4. 
No speaker is perfect flat response.

EQ just for test, must me 10-12 grade at least, i used digital , build in some program so you have to be able boost 200-300 Hz. i am sure you will be surprise, actually it does not matter for customer or for yourself, try and let us know
