Fun? Sure. It is indeed fun to play with big speakers.
Direct-radiating bass reproduction is all about displacement, and the area of the piston (cone) is certainly a factor of that. More tends to be... well, more.
And this mysterious speaker (which there seems to be no color photos of, despite the 1981 date) has a radiating area of perhaps about 2 square meters.
That's around the same as qty. 18 of 18" woofers.
It's easy to find collections of way, way more than that. People even charge money to hear them; they're on the ground between the stage and the crowd barrier at any big rock show. :)
