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

Single BIG WOOFER in large bottom ported cabinet

66.81.170.130

To match your efficient pretty wood horn tweeter, I would put a single 18" or 21" woofer in a LARGE pretty wood cabinet with a very large port on the bottom similar to what B&W does for its 801. Efficiency = dynamics. You should be able to get 99db/watt at 50Hz before any baffle step compensation. This can be part of your 3-way with a 95-99 db/watt 10" midbass crossed LR4 at 1.1Khz to match the 90 degree polar response of your pretty wood horn tweeter.

Now you can start to put your walls and corners to work for you to smooth out the bass modes and gain efficiency. Instead of a separate subwoofer, you could build another pair of these woofers for a more uniform timbre.
