Another bogus idea.
If a perfect upper bass could be achieved by means of spherical (approx. 1m diameter horn), what would be the next acceptable solution,
if space considerations do not allow big horns?
Perhaps that could be a line array of small direct radiators in a closed box, something like Nearfield Acoustics has done:

Of course their upper midrange-tweeter solution is not ideal (many discrete sources producing comb filtering effects),
but at least in the range of 80-500 Hz one could get a nice coverage of various room modes.
