That really is the best use of a full-range driver--as an extremely wideband midrange driver. My all-time favorite is a Jensen M10 used as a bass/midrange driver with a bandpass protected tweeter coming in way on top. The 13" Jensen is run full range, but, it of course cannot really do the extreme top end and the dispersion pattern becomes way too narrow because of the large diameter of the cone. I suppose a bass nut would use a woofer down below as well, but, this driver is surprisingly capable, even when used in an open baffle.
I don't, myself, know of a full-range driver (electrostatic drivers excepted) that really could deliver the goods. The closest I have heard is the field-coil Feastrix, and the old Western Electric 756 (definitely not the more common 755).
