There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area


After listening to quite a few speakers, my conclusion is that if you want large enveloping soundstage, you need a lot of drivers.  

I once had a speaker with two 12in. drivers and the soundstage is just floating in the air.  None of my other speakers could do that.

Currently I have a pair of Thiel CS2.4.  It is a very good speaker but with small drivers there is really limitation to what it can do in term of soundstage size.  I really miss that.

Not totally necessary if you have good design vented speakers with dual woofers 

you can get very good deep bass $$ is the limiting factor.

great stand mounts ,with a pair of good subs click all the boxes 

your $$ budget makes or breaks the speakers design,build quality 

from my experiences.
