Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers

Footnote: I went back to larger multi-way systems since I have a large listening room and wanted to listen to the full dynamic range of a large symphony orchestra going full tilt at actual live levels. I didn't want to be concerned with a voice coil wizzing past my ear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My classical music has come completely alive with my whizzer WBers. 
Incredible soundstage. 
Not sure what WBers you are talking about, Surely not Tang bands best nor DavidLouis best WBers, can't be. 
You must have heard some low class WBer

A 3 way design will most likely "blow away" everyone at first listen compared to a single driver.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Correct,.
Big Wilsons, Dali, Sonus Fabers will be very impressive in the 1st session,, Once you get them home,,, well thats a  whole nother ball game.
= fatigue sets in,,then you feel like a  fool.
Been there DONE that. 
Wouldn't trade my dual WBers for any speaker in the world.

Yes, the tweeter has a High-Pass filter, but no crossover
~~~~~~~~
I'm running my paper  cone tweeter (yes I did say 1970's style paper tweeter, Kasun) witha   single 2.2 Mundorf SESGO cap, sounds super duper, 
vs the Seas Millennium tweet
like 8 components, 18uf, 2.2, 3.3 2.2 and perhaps 1 more cap!!!! ARRGHHHHH, trash.
All you need for a  tweet is a  simple single cap 6uf-2uf , xovers drain the life out a  tweeter. 

Super tweeters make sound more refined, more air, detailed… But harsh in upper midrange, more fatigue, more smearing.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yep I could not live witha  super horn tweet, Not my cup of tea.
I recall the old rat Shak super's,, just aweful,. Sure they are superior now, 
But I;'m going to try a  Scan Clone Be/Nd tweeter vs my 3 inch paper cone double magnet tweeter. 
My guess is the Be/Nd will annihilate my fav paper tweet.
Will run a single 2.2uf Mundorf SESGO cap.
Think this will kick in at 10khz ish..range

Hi @mozartfan ,
High-Pass filter and crossover are the same thing!
You didn't read my message. I told that 4th order crossover (HF filter) fixes most issues with super tweeter.
I have to add that in case of forward-firing super tweeter placement should be aligned with the speakers. It is true for any kind and order of crossover (HF filter).
Regards,
Alex.
