Imo the difference between 6.5" diameter and 7" diameter drivers is inconsequential.
I think you are SEEING a cone size difference and HEARING a sonic difference, assuming that the one is the cause of the other.
My guess is that there are other factors involved which are not readily apparent, but which have a greater effect than the small difference in cone diameter.
