This is a hypothetical question.
Assuming that we are in a reasonable living room (not a huge mansion), and our goal is to reproduce acoustically played music (i.e. not electronic, not movies), what would be the maximum woofer membrane area in order to produce bass, above which there would be no audible difference?
For example, suppose we have about 900-1,000 cm2 of total radiating area (12'' or 3 X 6.5'' woofers give or take, times 2 speakers). We want to reproduce double bass drum kicks, a church organ, these sorts of things. At which size of membrane area does it stop mattering? 15'' drivers? 18''? 3 X 10''?
Again, I'm talking about music reproduction in a domestic room, not earthquake bass of some movies that doesn't exist in acoustic music.
