I was going to say something like this too ;)

The transient response of a low frequency driver doesn't
matter, as long as it is limited to ONLY handling the
low frequencies. On the other hand if you use a 15"
driver up to say 800 cps there may be a perceived lack
of "crispness" or "sharpness" due to the inertia of the
cone. This is why I use my 15" driver only below 75 cps
where the driver is plenty "fast". The smaller mid bass
drivers allow things like a kick drum to sound crisp.

Regards,

Phil
