yeh! This is true.

Two approaches for the Phy-HP Open Baffle

First, it can be driven by low power tube amp such as 2A3 or 45 type in a small room. I read a review of this speaker from Dutch diner named DHTRob, looks like he has this speaker in a small room with low power.

The second approach as you pointed out crossover at higher frequency at 500Hz that allows the Phy-HP driver do less job. However, I concerned about whether the Onken bass with EMS able to like such higher frequency. Assuming it is able to blend well, passive crossover would ruins the transparency to a degree. So the route to bi-amping is a must via digital crossover, eg DSPeaker, miniDSP and others.

So I prefer the first Pproach to have the Phy-HP OB in a small room for simplicity and puritry.

If I have a large room or listening area, i might have another set up for large room that has Supravox field coil in an Onken enclosure for upper frequency snd Onken bass with EMS as the diagram shown in my previous post. I guess such a set might play much much louder without too much compromise.
