You need to learn how to properly dampen, then, so that you can have
good bass response in a larger cabinet.

Joe, your head is full of feces. You seem to have no understanding of
speaker design whatsoever.

So Tannoy and Paradigm and a slew of others can make a decent
tower speaker and you cannot?

Look at the Saturn 6 LR bookshelf speakers. Nice, decent designs.
They took the same drivers and $50 more in materials(since the MSRP
is only $300 more) and the low-end dropped to 31hz.

That's almost a full octave lower than the bookshelf design,
and close enough to full-range to not matter(since the last 4 keys or
so on a keyboard are rarely played).

They did it - yet you say it is "impossible" and would sound terrible?

$1500 MSRP. $1250-1350 or so street price.

....

Honestly, if you could make a tower out of the design and add some
features like maybe an area at the bottom to put sand/wieght or
a second woofer or something...

Most people won't pay over $1000 in any case for a bookshelf speaker,
but will buy a small tower as they get full-range in a small package.
