What are "Full range speaker"


I wonder what constitutes a so called "full range speaker"?

Besides the low frequency reproduction, what are other things that are typical of a full range speaker?

I have a pair of Spendor S8 and are they qualified as full range speaker?

Your Spendors are considered by many to be full range, but they do miss the bottom octive. True 'full range' have an 'open' bottom end, or no restrictions to how low they will play. There are very few true 'full range' speakers. Even though the term 'monitor' can apply to large multi-driver speakers, it is generally used to describe small box speakers, 'full range' usually refers to floorstanding and other large speakers. Its just a general way to describe the type of speaker. You would list your Spendor S8 speakers as 'full range' here at Audigon.
Aside from what's mentioned above, Aside from the book shelf and small monitor speakers, almost all the non-single driver speakers today are full range speakers
S23chang, would you make up your mind, your second statement contradicts the first.

I hit enter key to fast the first time which I didn't finish my posting. I mean to say the second statement. However, the term becomes more weight when you talk about "single driver" speakers since majority are already full range speakers.
