4 4" speakers may have the same membrane area as 1 8", but they usually don't have the same linear stroke. Find me a decent 4" that plays below 100 Hz in a small enclosure and isn't sub 85 db/W/m, that's gonna be a hard task.

Maybe something like several Faital Pro 3 would be usable, but with an lmax of 1.8 mm I don't think they'll be loud enough at lower frequencies for the use in a Model A.
Also you'll get mean interferences in the mid-range when using many speakers in close proximity without proper time alignment.

The easiest (and by far cheapest) solution is definitely a nice pair of in-ears, as much as I hate to admit that.
