Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room?

Soundsrealaudio, yes I meant two way speakers, but we can expand the discussion, I think it could be interesting to many audiophiles and music lovers.
I agree of course about bass quality and its blending in with all other frequencies. The sound must be coherent not in pieces.

I have 7 inch 2 way towers that dig down plenty deep below 30 hz. However It’s in the volume that where they will never match a 10 inch woofer or multiple woofer system. Big woofer  doesn’t equal deep,  Big woofer equals loud + deep....but that’s just using my math.

We never did discuss Transmission Line enclosures either, or dual woofer scenarios.

Dual woofer's aren't quite as good as more diameter inches, but they don't hurt. :)

Eric i beg to differ ... I have adagios two 6.5 underhung transmission line . They share different frequency i have had probly 40 pairs if spkrs in 30+ yrs . There killer and go to 30 hz ribbon tweeters 2way 

@oleschool

Not sure what you are differing to. ;)

I was making two different statements.  One, noting that we didn't really discuss transmission lines yet as another way to get more out of smaller drivers.

All things being equal, 2 drivers does not double the bass though. :)

Best,
