I've been using Sachiko double-back-loaded horns with various 8" "full-range" drivers for the past eight years. After years of listening to the same speakers on the same system and in the same room here's the conclusions I've reached:
1) No single "full-range" driver truly exists. At best you'll find some very nice extremely "wide-range" drivers!
2) Find the best extremely "wide-range" drivers you can ---{I really like the $256/pr Dayton PS220-8 drivers with Rispoli-modified cones}--- and add a woofer from somewhere between 50Hz to 80Hz and a tweeter from 8Khz to 10Khz, while running the extremely "wide-range" drivers full-range.
Following those two steps will give you the best of both worlds. By running the extremely "wide-range" drivers full-range, you'll get the sound that people use supposedly "full-range" drivers for! While adding a woofer somewhere between 50Hz to 80Hz and a tweeter from 8Khz to 10Khz, will fill in the two frequency extremes where the extremely "wide-range" drivers start to peter out. This is what I've done for most of the past 8 years and have been quite happy with what I've been listening to...
