RE: Looking to go "full range"

You have a point about big sound needing big air movement. There are many speakers out there, and I have only heard a sampling, but the only ones that I have experienced doing justice to a full blown orchestra at high volume were the giant Wilsom MAXX XXs. On the other hand, they didn't do the smaller more intimate music as well as what he has. With the Wilsons, the treble midrange and bass could be clearly heard as separate entities on smaller music. On the big stuff, it was more about the power of the sound and the coherence wasn't noticable. The Wilsons may not have been set up optimally or we may not have been at the correct listening distance. They were great speakers, but out of his price range anyway.

Still, it's true that you can't pull a tactor trailer with a 370Z. But then you can't run a slalom course with an an eighteen wheeeler.
