Hi Dominic,In my opinion bolstered by more than forty years of critical listening and more than thirty-four years or designing, building and listening to high end loudspeaker systems only narrow dispersion systems have even the potentionial to approach sounding as live accoustic music sounds. This statement includes systems which incorporate DSP room correction. I use DEQX with my narrow dispersion Oris 150 horns driven by AER MD3s topped by limited dispersion Fostex t500a horn super tweeters with bass provided by folded plywood bass corner horns(bass bins of Klipschorns to be replaced by Bill Fitzmaurice HT Tubas as soon as construction is completed).
As far as alleged "full range" or more correctly wide range single driver systems are concerned I have heard and even built and listened to some of the very best using Lowther, Fostex and AER drivers. If your only musical tastes are those which remind you of your mama singing you to sleep when you were a tiny bed wetting snot dripper these are fine. If you, like me, prefer more exciting and dramatic fare such as my favorites, the symphonic works of the romantic Russian composers such as Rachmanioff, Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, etc. they are a woefully inadequate sick joke.
I grew up in a home with an absolutely magnificent old Behr Brothers upright piano. I was the youngest of my ten siblings, and there was quite literally a waiting list for access to the piano.
The one of my brothers who inherited the piano just spent over $8,000.00 to have it rebhuilt once again. It puts modern baby grands to shame. If you are curious what it looks like watch the old Steve McQueen movie "Cinncinati Kid." There was also a reed organ many guitars, trombones, autoharps and saxophones, including my magnificent old top of the line 1920s Conn Naked Baby alto Sax which I still cherish. Up until about five years ago I heard live music every day. I still hear live music much more often than most asylum inmates.But then, I am only a brain damaged genius. What the Hell do I know?
