as a 1 inch tweeter obviously has faster response time than a 5 inch midrange

Why do you think that?

I think 1 inch tweeters would generally be faster responding by having less mass than drivers 5 times their size.

But they are likely to be handling different frequencies and have different magnet assemblies, so the mass should not be a relevant factor.

I just assume they would be faster because it would be logical that something smaller with less mass would tend to have faster acceleration time and I think that's what I subjectively tend to hear.

My daughter's MB S95 is faster than my Audi A4.

There was something called the Levinson HQD System years ago. Ultra expensive for its time. It combined, among other things stacked Quad 57 electrostatics with if I remember correctly, 24 inch Hartley subwoofers

You got the H and the Q but left out the D for the Decca-Kelly Ribbon tweeter. 😎

But notice - the heavier the driver, the slower the car. I believe in an extreme situation  A4 could actually be slower than MB S95, it's only a question of finding appropriate drivers.. 🙄

There are aren't any two people with driver's licenses in our family with a sufficient weight differential.
