Hi,


I'm looking for a good quality full range speaker. I'd like to build
a cabinet with one such speaker in it. I don't want to use additional
speakers. I would prefer to use either a closed cabinet or a vented
one. The closed one is my first choice, as I want the most precision
out of sound. I want to also keep the design simple, so it is easy
to build.

There was a review in the January, 2004 Stereophile of three
single-driver speaker systems that you might be interested in having a
look at -- portions of the article appear to be online at the
Stereophile website . . .

Notice the massive hole off axis, from 2 Khz on up. Rough, peaky response

Notice the absence of measurements of bass power-handling ability.

Ditto, only now from 4 KHz on up.. Rough, peaky response

Pushes the bar up to 10 KHz or so. Pretty smooth.

Just a relatively smooth transition from broad dispersion to narrower
disperson. Smoother, yet.
