A full range speaker?

Many claim to be, but how many can handle a full orchestra’s range?

That range is from 26hz to around 12khz including harmonics, but the speakers that can go that low are few and far between. That is a shame, since the grand piano, one of the center points of many orchestral and symphonic performances, needs that lower range to produce a low A fully, however little that key is used.

I used to think it was 32hz, which would handle a Hammond B-3’s full keyboard, so cover most of the musical instruments range, but since having subs have realized how much I am missing without those going down to 25hz with no db’s down.

What would you set as the lower limit of music reproduction for a speaker to be called full range?

 I’m asking you to consider that point where that measurement is -0db’s, which is always different from published spec's.

We have been talking about the multi sensory experience of listening to music; aural and tactile. The speaker, to reproduce, or should I say convey, the live experience. 
An aural and external exciter and a, oh what’s the word I’m looking for???

Ah, blunt force trauma on the low end and a way to, "cook?" your skin on the high end?

Yes, you are now aware , which many still sleep.
Is there such a  driver that can produce music, which elevates the senses to some sort of mystical , Elesusian Mystery Religious experience.
Where the sound waves float so effortlessly, so magically through the air molecules,  where the speaker itself disappears and we are embraced by this wave of pure bliss, and we become united  by this pure high fidelity, , thus losing our identity in this Mystical Oness of Beauty.  .
I should think this is possible.

1994 Olympic Stadium Pink Floyd Sorrow. Massive vibration. The bones in my ears were vibrating. The whole stadium was shaking. I agree with the above comments about feeling the music. It doesn’t take that much to feel the waves but it’s not always practical in a domestic environment- but It’s fun to try to blend the two.
what size drivers on the subs? I’ve used 13’s. 18’s how much better?

The Floyd were the first band to introduce me to heavy deep bass overtones, subsonic vibrations and the like. I love that part of music, and a fair part of my collection of music reflects that.
