Well. Anytime you add bigger drivers you may have an issue with a mix in the mids. For instance my RBH Sound Towers dig really low but sound muddy compared to my Ascends. With the right person designing the speaker I feel we could get the the same tower we have now but with a lower HZ and still keep the balanced sound with the mids and RAAL ribbon. I know other brands out there offer this, but I like Ascend and what you get with the company. It would just be great to get it in a bigger Tower.
LOL!
I know what you want, and can’t fault you for it, I just think there is a better and more cost effective way to do it.
My setup goes down below 20hz. It’s integrated well, and I bet any blindfolded person would be hard pressed to tell me if there is a subwoofer being used. Maybe only because it goes deep.
I haven’t heard bass from any passive L/R speakers sound as good as my Rythmik.

If you are NOT running a sub and like myself want to “feel” the bass not just hear it
I can see why you would want this. The Towers easily go into 100db if you want
So there is plenty of volume so why not just add a quality sub which would be more
Economical than if Dave had to incorporate the equivalent into a tower?
Now if it’s just the for wow factor of an Ascend Tower with 2 12” Woofers ....yeah I’ll take pair too...lol

As others have mentioned, there are always compromises. That said, just for my own curiosity - if we were able to create a larger more powerful tower speaker with deeper bass yet retained the same mids and highs performance (or at least close) -- how much would you be willing to spend?
$3,500 - $4,000 for Ascend sound. We would love to get rid of our pair of Subs/
If you add the price of good Subs to the price of Sierra Towers.......
+1 for $3000-$4000 w/ tweeter options?
Ascend towers with big dual woofers ( 8” -10” I’m assuming) would be really, really cool. I bet the cost would be far greater than $4k thought. That seems like it would be A substantially larger cabinet and a lot more woofer especially anything bigger than a 8”. 2.0 music with RAAL tweeters would be crazy good though.

A larger Ascend tower would be fantastic. I could see 8in drivers added to the mix being perfect. 10's like a Klipsch RF 3 would be very hard to blend right.
