This will always be fairly large so you i can forget about aiming for a compact system. |

Yes, any acoustic system starts from a combination of an upperbass channel, room and a complementary MF channel. Among three of them the upper bass channel (responsible for the “melody range”) handles the main responsibility for the sound in your room. Below is the allocation of the frequencies within a large 124-musicians orchestra playing a peace from Richard Strauss’ tone poem (recorded a few days back). I think any commentaries which driver handles the most are no necessary.
