Hmm... I'm tempted to think the seller doesn't like treble.
I'll never trust a single drive unit speaker - well, if I
heard a decent one, I might, but it hasn't happened yet.

I'm not including concentric drive units as offered by
KEF and Tannoy for example. I mean single-coil units.

I'm sure those treble-cones were put there for a reason, and
not meant to be shorn by treble-haters!

Yes, a single drive unit for the full range is a worthy goal,
but there's this little thing about wavelength versus diameter
that's a problem. And shifting all that mass at a high frequency
is difficult too, even though the excursion at high frequencies
is lower.

Yes, if I had the money I'd have electrostatics!

Still, good luck.

Dear Martin,

When you grow up you will find that most of the stuff you read in magazines
is crap.

Make a start by listening to the music, eventually you will find your way to
the horn loaded single driver speaker and be able to enjoy the music to the
full.
