What you can say about lowbass and midbass perfomance for high end loudspeakers ?

i listen Egglestonworks Viginty  and find out the play increadable bass performance , especially punch bass
The company claim the two 10" woofer working as  passive sub with cross point 100Hz, and 2  6" midwoofer is
responsible for midbass get very good punch bass,  They say to produce good bass the need to split bass, becouse  
low base woofers get big moving mass cone , and work poor for punch work (too heavy )  Do anybody agree?
But this issue can be find in big speakers with 10"-12"woofer, For small floorstander is not applicable

The idea of small woofers being "faster" is a myth.

What happens is more complicated and involves room acoustics as well.

Having said that, there are many speakers with dual 6" to 10" woofers which perform very very well in a room. See my threads on 2.5 way speakers.

IOW, I agree with the approach, but the explanation is an urban legend which hides a series of more complicated issues. 

Best,

Designers started moving aggressively towards multiple smaller diameter woofers driven largely by a desire to make enclosures narrower, a desire driven in turn by a desire to make speakers more self-effacing in domestic rooms.  The faster small woofer idea is an ex post facto "justification" for a trend/change driven by other considerations, of a less purely acoustic nature.

But smaller diameter woofers never get bottom low base compare to
big 10-12woofers., the reason a lot a top end designers still make
loudspeakers with big size woofers

Yes!  A number of designers still using 10-12 inchers; Daedalus, for example, that was using 8", just came out with a couple of models using 10".

Actually more important the cone moving mass , in pro line the using 
big size cone  like Eminence Omega Pro 15A  15" driver with 94 gram.
Some 8" woofer is using in High End get same cone weight. This is 
reason we always like good punch in club , in Pro audio. Nobody
care about listen double bass . I  think is the reason why a huge
amount of folk like Tektone. the using 10" Pro line drivers with low
moving mass and get good punch
