I really like both types...

Now that I've spent more than just a few hours evaluating the wideband driver concept I can better understand that almost everything in audio is a compromise of some sort. More than ever, I think that it might be better to own a stable of different speaker designs than to be stuck eating the same old sonic meatloaf every night.

Headphones are to blame for getting me started down the wayward path of audio polygamy, as there are so many different sonic presentations, personal comfort considerations, and aesthetic considerations to consider in the headphone world. Now, I find it nearly impossible (or even "sinful") to be satisfied with just one sonic spouse (may God or gods be praised for the openness and humor which pervades every sonic corridor!). Likewise, the more I listen to loudspeakers, the more I feel that it's almost necessary to own several pairs. It could be that every genre of music has it's ideal transducer, but only headphones are compact enough to allow me to indulge in serious explorations along that vein. Sadly, I have not much room left for another pair of speakers.
