Answer from an audio engineer here. We look at audio reproduction in octaves, and those octaves don’t translate in frequency response linearly, rather they translate logarithmically. A gradual increase in driver size and subsequent narrow frequency crossover would result in what is called comb filtering, and excessive comb filtering at that. What that means to the listener is a loss in various frequency bands at different registers that will change based on where you are listening from due to a phenomenon called phase cancellation. This results in an incomplete soundscape or sonograph.
