Re: Nope, certainly not AA and neither Gradient or Celestion do it this way....

I am not familiar with the AA, Gradient, or Celestion. I should have not implied that these take the cheap way out. Actually, active EQ done right can really help by extending the low end a full octave lower. Your statement about a Hi-Q driver is not necessarily true. For one reason, a Hi-Q woofer is not going to be boomy without being in a box. It is the box that adds the boom. Also, even in a box, this can be overcome. I have the Dynaudio 17W75ext which has a Qts of .85. I have three of them in a 4 cu.ft. box fully and tightly stuffed and the box Q is .66, which was brought down because of the stuffing lowering Qms. It was not boomy when I had it mounted on a test baffle. It is one of the better mid-woofers for upper mids that I have ever heard. The lower end sounds very tight. It will take a Hi-Q woofer for what this guy wants and some EQ to boot.
