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

Hi
Well the speaker in the 2nd video is good to 80Hz all by itself using 8 coax drivers (cone and normal compression driver).

For a paraline, the main limit to HF is how large the passageway is where the sound changes direction.
Sound can act like a fluid, go around corners (like inside a compression driver at the dome) but it does this elegantly only when the dimensions are small compared to the wavelength.

It's not to hard to make a 1 way paraline work but the larger it is, like any two radiating systems, the harder it is to make a seamless crossover.

The same thing applies to the last question, in that speaker, the mid energy is added into the hf horn where the dimension is about 3 inches in diameter and so at crossover, they can combine (less than 1/4wl across) into one single radiation.

That (radiating as a single point in time and space) and horns has been the thing that makes our company go, in a live sound world in love with hanging speaker bananas.
If you were ever at "Rivers of light", all the audience speakers are those SBH10's, the far away speakers are some of our bigger stuff.
