2-way speaker with best bass


I know all the arguments about how crossovers can screw up loudspeakers, and hence the many inherent advantages of 2-ways over multi-driver designs. But there comes a point where the laws of physics can only be bent so far...

So... what IYO is the 2-way speaker that most successfully plumbs the depths, that provides the best full, but "tight and tuneful", bass, with good pitch definition, without completely messing up the higher registers?

For the moment, let's not worry about how this achievement might affect impedance and sensitivity.

tbg,

Here's a diagram.

Mapman, I know how the Walsh driver works. I misunderstood what you meant by "rear" of the driver. I was thinking "rear" of the speaker. Sorry. I guess I would have said the backside of the driver.
KCS's Oris 150's with 18" bass cones sure pump out some nice tuneful bass and go down to the low 20's or so.
Don't know if they are strictly a 2-way as they have a super tweeter connected to the midrange cone.
