Bose could not touch this ... and they were from the 90's and one of the few speakers that I regret selling ... and they went down to 60 hz ... and were neutral spounding -- Digital Phase AP.5 speakers with a 3 inch woofer Reactions: Kingnoob and Pogre

My current towers -3 dB is 41 hz with 5.5" bass drivers. I've owned a couple of different speakers with larger drivers that can't dig that deep. My older B&Ws had 8" woofers and wouldn't go down to 41 hz. Click to expand... I will agree with you in principal. What we get out of current technology with speaker drivers is pretty cool. For a modest sum, we can get outstanding performance in a modest footprint. If we get antsy and want something bigger, well, there's somebody that will sell bigger drivers in bigger cabinets as well. If the wife gets pissed at the size, well, there's always the tiny drivers in the tiny speakers. For what we are paying, we get pretty incredible sound. Even if we step aside from the world of reality and go for the super duper super expensive stuff, many of those arrangements are driving 10's or more of mid sized drivers. And it can all be augmented with a subwoofer tucked away out of sight somewhere if you don't feel like you're getting your sub bass stuff. We live in a time where we get a lot of sound for not a lot of money. At every price point it seems there's something worth considering. Or expressed another way, at every price point there's something audiophiles find worth arguing over and spitting nails at each other. Reactions: NINaudio and Pogre

Or so the fronts have a lot of the total effects and sound ? You could make a case center channels have shrunken a lot like typical woofers getting smaller , year by year . Some towers use 4-5” woofers !!!?? Click to expand... Just for you with two 3 inch woofers New Page
