I would suggest everyone to try out building a good single driver speaker. Yes, these have better holographic stereo image than every multidriver speaker I have heard.
The passive ( and active ) crossovers in conventional loudspeakers muck up the sound and are never truly transparent.
The Markaudio pluvia 11 and the chn110 has extremely low distortion , lower than most loudspeakers up to 95 dB and the ability to equalize the response with PEQ is a marriage in heaven for the WiiM ultra. I sold my Genelec SAM monitors and I havent heard any speaker sounding better than those drivers in a good box.
These loudspeakers can be built for very little money , biggest drawback is very high spl. If someone needs to play music at 100 dB in the base, you need to complement those with subwoofers.
The Sibelius loudspeaker is a commersial loudspeaker with Markaudio alpair 10.3 drivers - I suggest every one who has a chance to listen to those - do it.
Below we see the very low distortion from the Markaudio Pluvia 11 driver.
Picture left : at 85 dB , picture right: at 95 dB .
Here is my building, using chn110 driver. Totally unexpected, it soundvice totally outclassed every loudspeaker I have had.
The pluvia 11 driver is similar in size and sounds the same, but can have a slightly smaller box for the same amount of bass.

Markaudio CHN 110 building and comparisons with Genelec 8340 SAM monitors
I have been building a pair of single driver loudspeakers just for fun this week. I have bought a pair of Markaudio chn110 drivers, and if this sounds good Im gonna buy the more expensive alpair model. Loudspeaker: Size : 24 * 19,5 ( baffle) * 106,5 cm ( about as high as the sibelius...

Pluvia 11 based sphere speaker project
Now that I am finished filling my living room with 'space balls' I have decided that I will do the same with our bedroom/home office upstairs The project will be almost the same as the one above but with the difference that this time I will use Markaudio Pluvia 11 (the chrome color version)...
