Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible


Can you get really low freq. (lets say 30 and down) from a small driver (~6 inch? What is the relationship between driver size and frequency? Most speakers today have went away from a large base driver (10 inches or more). Have we really come that far or is it really a compermize?

Any recomendations for smaller floor standers with good bass?

Thanks,

You said it yourself:"if properly done" and "midrange response should be improved"I have found that it sometimes is not done,actually ,most of the times.I still like a well designed two-way.

Thank you for your essays.
I'm shure it did not help Dr Ken much.

I apologize to Dr. Ken Schuemann because it is most unfortunate that such a great product has been clouded by this unnecessary rhetoric.
