Agreed!Despite their drawbacks, there are good single-driver systems within their limitations, using various schemes to improve directivity, and for specific applications.
The thing about limitations applies to all speaker genres. Depending on the technology used, they can't do everything equally well. That's why I usually have different loudspeakers in use. Theoretically I am aware of some things, I have been in the subject for many decades, I have read various thick books, attended workshops and made my own experiments, but in the end I always have to hear for myself what results are achieved. Through these exercises my hearing was also trained and I became a critical and analytical listener. I can describe these experiences, but I can't transfer them, even if I tried hard until my fingers broke on the keyboard.
