One other thing I have noticed is that with my horns, the 10 inch midbass coupled to the back horn gives tremendous mid bass punch. There is not so much deep bass (probably little below 35hz) but the range from 50-120 is simply huge and equivalent to several 15inchers I would estimate...all that and the cone itself is not even visibly moving at all. This lack of motion also helps to reduce distortion in the bass so there is a lot of texture coming through.
While a lot of mid bass can be impressive, it can also be too much, so that realism gets lost (same as when there's too little). The golden balance is where it's at. Perhaps you achieve it in your room, but your post makes it sound as if more per se equals better.
