If tweeters are better suited to highs, small speakers to mids and large woofers to bass, why don’t we have an array of ten say ten or twenty gradually increasing speakers from tiny tweets to ENORMOUS woofers, each with a unique crossover at a specific frequency they perform best at?
We really seem to have settled on three sizes. Tweets, miss, and subs. Why is that the case?
Surely more speakers handling less varied frequencies means a better response, right?
You want the least amount of components to avoid phase shift and distorsion etc. and the ideal speaker is a point source that plays all frequencies. You would have a real weird acoustic center if you had 10 or 20 drivers all with unique frequency ranges.
