The reason there are many hybrid systems is obvious.
It's because they're so much easier to design and implement. (And better WAF as well.)1. Many contemporary woofer drivers (motor wise) are much more suitable for box usage vice free air.
2. The equalization chore (if there is any) is much more straightforward.
3. For a given SPL and same driver, box speakers have an approximate 4:1 advantage in Sd * Xmax requirement.
And I could go on.Dave.
