There are a number of speakers that use a single driver. It all depends upon how much output capability is required.
In Jazzman's case, the single driver would seem to be adequate based on the limited SPL ability the main speaker has. It is a symmetrical configuration, apart from the driver itself.
Other than the phase distortion of the crossover, there is nothing less coherent about this approach than a large, full-range panel.
Large, full-range panels are not inherently coherent either since there is phase distortion associated with differing path distances, in the near-field.
There isn't any speaker that's truly coherent (using the strict acoustic definition.) They would have to be much smaller.....and thus not able to produce adequate bass.
Headphones are your best bet if you're really into "coherency." :)
