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

In accordance to the above would like add my preference for pro-type woofers. Some designs like tapped horns require of the moving mass not to be too low, yet at the same time have a demand for very high motor force. My main speakers use a 15" "old-school" driver in a folded horn with a cone mass of just over 70 grams and relatively small voice coil of 2," whereas my upcoming pair of tapped horns will use a 15" B&C driver (15TBX100) each with a 4" voice coil and mms and BL factor of just over 160 grams and 25.5 Txm respectively. The force multiplier of the B&C unit in such a tapped horn is about ~2.2, but in actual performance sits near 4. They take up space, admittedly - about 20 cubic feet per cabinet..
