The biggest tower of bass drivers I have used was 4 tubes, dynamics was good but the difference I found against just 2 tubes in the same room was not a lot.
I very much disagree with this assessment. The more bass drivers you have the better bass you get and the relation is virtually linear. 6 drivers are better than 4 and 64 drivers even better. The point is that the more driver you have the less exertion of individual drivers, thus less mechanic distortions. It is not to mention that with grow of drivers number the sensitivity of the entire bass section grow and starting from some point a low power DSET might be used, which is by nature has superior LF. Also, with a large number of drivers it is possible to use the array in split-bass configuration that can dial the room very accurately in care a room has a problem. The only limitation as I see it to breed too many bass section is space and aesthetic… I do feel purely from aesthetic perspective that Anthony need to use 6 drivers per side but my viewpoints on aesthetic should be meaningful only for myself…
