I find that you can get better soundstaging with single drivers because the sounds are coming from exactly the same source, instead of separate drivers. Same source = same end point, which should always be your listening area.Pinipig523 said:How does a single driver have superior soundstaging compared to one with a dedicated tweeter and midrange?

I find it very easy to distinguish exactly where sound is coming from, even in a system that is almost perfectly set up, so soundstaging is a huge problem for me.
It's just my personal preference...

First up, yep, PC speakers (this is the "Computer Audio" forum, after all, not www.hometheatre.com...:p), and second, I expect I should have added exactly just how far, or more accurately, how very little my budget extends. Splashing out for me is like, 2k for a complete speaker set minus the LFE. Meaning, I'm speaking from my experience, not outside of it. Anyone who has a budget larger than mine can easily disregard my posts...BO(V)BZ said:Just curious if you mean this in terms of PC speakers or HT ones, as the market for single-driver HT speakers is barren. All I know of is a fwe people building modified transmission line cabinets and using the best midrange drivers they can find. My current speakers are a D'Appolito array, and I don't notice decoherence until I'm within 2 feet.
I think a good way to look at this is to consider how many 2-10k speakers have just 1 driver...I couldn't name one.
Lastly, digital room correction and phase coherence routines along with clever speaker and crossover design can essentially mitigate any of the problems associated with multi-element speakers.
Ahaha, I'd honestly relish the opportunity to sit in an awesome home theatre setup, except for the fact that I'd probably never want to leave, lol.ccotenj said:well, if you ever make it from australia to new jersey, you are more than welcome to come sit in my listening room so i can disprove this to you...
I know exactly what you mean, I cant stand that "type" of sound on home audio systemsXeero said:It so..... car audio.

Xeero said:Infinity.... eh.... I personally don't think they are too great. I would prefer stuff from Paradigm, Mirage, Energy, MB Quart and maybe some Onix. Personal preference I guess
Thats expensive stuff right thereccotenj said:really? how many pairs of infinity prelude mts speakers have you auditioned?
QFT. I REALLY wish Logitech would use tweeters. The sound is WAY too muddy for my liking.
And I agree that their bass needs a little.... control?
Maybe non ported is the way to go.
The absolute only thing that is keeping me from getting the Klipsch's is lack of treble control. Its a dumb thing but I am picky when it comes to treble
