" it doesn't make much sense to get to caught up in wattage when talking about different speakers. You've got to consider the sensitivity of the speakers and how they respond to power. A speaker rated 90dB sensitivity will produce that ear damaging 90dB at 1 meter off a single watt. A lot of the best speakers and amplifiers in the world might only be running 10W, but they are sensitive speakers with massive old school class A amps. A speaker with +3dB sensitivity would make twice as much sound energy off the same wattage, and at +10dB sensitivity the speaker would sound twice as loud.
All of that is to say that wattage specs don't matter as much as most people think, and certainly it's not a good way to compare speakers without a lot more information."
If you are using them with a computer, then you would just use the subwoofer output on the motherboard or soundcard.
If you are using it off speaker cable, then you'd just get a subwoofer with speaker level inputs.
If you are using them off RCA's, then you just get a y-splitter and send one feed to the sub.

There definitely are bigger dome mid-range drivers that "look" like tweeters, but only a few companies are employing them. An example would be Wharfedale's Evo series:

In the past, Dynaudio also had models that used this, but I don't believe they have any in their current lineup. And even Wharfedale is only calling there's a 2" midrange, though it looks a bit bigger than that. And remember, it's a mid-range driver. Making a true tweeter of this size would be completely absurd. Nobody is doing that.
mass production floor speakers made by a reputable company in the 90's.
You literally copied and pasted a seller's description from their Reverb listing (complete with authentic grammatical errors!). What a clown move that you couldn't even speak to a product you claim to own with the specs in your own words.

Also, those are loudspeakers, not your typical tower/floorstanding speaker. They are wildly inefficient at low volumes and that 15" isn't an actual subwoofer either. Those 3" and 5" tweeters have cones and are mid range tweeters. There is almost zero parallel to draw between the product listed and yours. Your weak attempt to call me out as if I had said something false couldn't have been more wrong. Next time, I encourage you to actually educate yourself about a subject rather than react and then fall back on a copy/paste of someone else's description of a product in a weak attempt to stay relevant. You are wrong. The original comment about 3.5" tweeters being the, "usual size" on towers was also wrong. Learn and move on
