About 3 cone area*linear travel is physics you don't get away from that ! so reasonable cone area ( can absolutely be more than one driver , that could be even better , more motors ) is worth something . Of course in the boxes that the acoustics of the system require :) not what's fashionable .
visible large cone movement produces distortion in any speaker regardless of price ime . I have subwoofer in apartment ,but with a low crossover freq and steep filter and digital room acoustic compensation or it would not work very well . I know no way to get -0.5dB @ 20Hz at listening position without sub , there are not many reasonable full range system that does 20-20k and fits in my room , heck there are not many reasonable such system in any case . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
