Something like that EQ'd could sound vastly superior to any headphone. Would move a lot of air for nearfield listening. People on here have frequently said that there is a lot of information in the deep registers that you don't necessarily hear but can feel, and can discern when it is taken away.

With an open baffle the problem will be front to back cancellation limiting the low end response. A wider panel may help.

I would have to be clever with baffle and wings or rely on the proximity effect.

Wings or an open backed box would help. So would some low frequency boost.

Full range drivers are a compromise. The frequency response graph shows this.
For the cost of ten 11ms drivers, I am sure you could find something better suited for an o/b speaker.

If you want to feel the low end, then there is no replacement for displacement.
The 11ms is just not going to cut it, and all bass drivers are not slow. You just need to find the right one.

It's not mono-suspension but I could use four CHR 120 drivers with a central 11MS. They are advertised as going down to 30Hz in a large box so open baffle in a small room should be doable.

Ash,  reinforcing Kevin's good advice a closed box with Qtc of 0.7 has an excellent transient response i.e. it is fast and it  will go much lower than an open baffle.
