If too much system efficiency is sacrificed to achieve the goal, then it's time to re-think the design approach. IMO. :)
Multiple drivers addresses the issue, but...
Equalizing "full-range" drivers/systems (like the Bose 901 or IDS-25) represents a worst-case scenario because every db of EQ applied to the lower octaves reduces the overall system sensitivity directly by a like amount. But, only if your program material contains much information in the lower octaves. (Trade-offs are everywhere.)
However, generally, drivers are equalized only with their passbands in mind in multi-way overall design. So, you don't sacrifice much from their "nominal" sensitivities.....relatively speaking.
Speaking of systems that sacrifice a large amount of sensitivity as a result of extreme equalization, this one springs immediately to mind:
