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,

Michael,

That would be "Karl Schuemann".

I was at CES when Stan Ricker auditioned the AudioMachina monitors. As many of you know, Stan plays the double bass and has decades of experience listening to the reproduction of recorded music. Not an easy fellow to impress, one would think. His praise for the way the monitors nailed the bass lines on music he knew well was effusive, unrestrained and unsolicited.
