Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: You keep asking but won't accept the answer

Small drivers can theoretically go very low and some do go quite low. The problem is they can't do lows at high levels and then you couple that to the way our ears work(see Fletcher/Munson). Our ears are way down at very low frequencies at normal loudness levels. So you need lots of air movement to hear low bass even when it's there meaning you need lots of area on the bass drivers.
