Of course it is, well said!
Too bad not everybody understand that...

The result
is affected by both of the factors (and it is very easy to check and prove it in
reality). But these two factors affect the listener in very different way. It
is like eating quality food – from one side it is a source of quality ingredients
for the stomach and in the same time it is enjoyed by the brain because it's delicious taste. So
these two properties are caused by the same thing, but they are appreciated in
quite different ways. The multiplication of the upperbass channels affects mainly
the shape and size of the sound (the physical properties of the sound’s body),
while the lowering of each driver’s excursion due to the increased radiating area
affects mainly the non-physical properties of the sound – dynamics, tonality,
distortion and hundreds more. So I treat them as different things. Actually I
see the biggest benefit (besides the huge sound body) in the fact that such a
configuration allows very precise adjustment of the way how the harmonics of
each UB channels touch the midrange, by
simply dealing with the crossovers on each of them individually. This gives
almost unlimited freedom of possibilities for adjustments (the only requirement
is the man who adjust it should know what to listen/adjust, otherwise it is a wasted
opportunity) and this degree of precision could not be achieved by using just
one horn…
