Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

You suggest a 16 square foot baffle and a 2.0 Qts. driver ... so would still need another speaker for bass below 50Hz?

Now I'm even more confused.

Who wants to have a 16 square foot baffle x 2 ... and still need one or two more speakers for the bass under 50Hz.?

Who wants to use a 2.0 Qts. driver?

And would a 2.0 Qts driver on a 16 square foot open baffle really provide a flat frequency response down to 50Hz. without EQ?
If the answer is yes based on measurements of a real speaker, not theories, then I apologize for questioning the use of a 15" driver in a dipole configuration with no EQ.

But then you'd still need to add a monopole speaker to fill in the bass under 50Hz. -- and that would make no sense because the greatest advantage of dipole speakers in most rooms is less excitation of bass standing waves (causing a more realistic reproduction of bass instruments). Why use a monopole speaker to reproduce those low frequencies when a dipole speaker would have the greatest inherent sound quality (including room effects) advantage over monopole speakers?
