To avoid stepping on the post asking about whether more than 5" mid woofer is needed for subs, I wanted to ask whether anyone makes a speaker that is optimized for use with a sub. By optimized, I mean that it doesn't trade too much sensitivity for extension, and doesn't introduce a port unnecessarily (particularly one that introduces distortion at higher frequencies).
If one assumes that one will use 2-3 subs, and one is not concerned about higher cross-over points (or places the subs to minimize the ability to locate them audibly), it seems like it should be pretty straightforward to create a two or three way speaker of modest size that could integrate well with 12" subs from Rythmik or SVS (or similar).
I am also thinking of something with decent loudness capability, not for near-field. Say 80 db at 3 meters.
The first thought that comes to my mind is actually a center channel speaker from KEF (R2C), but it is $1200. But it would be nice if the budget for a pair could be < $1500.
Thanks,
Mark
