I went from two way monitors with a 6" woofer to two way monitors with a 8" woofer. Not only is there more bass but the quality of the bass changed. It seems more tuneful and resonant for lack of a better description.
Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch?
Have older b&w speakers and bass drivers are 7 inches vs 804 d3 speakers that are 6 1/2.
the larger drivers seem to really open the sound stage, more open and less constrained. Imaging of older speakers not as good but a very enjoyable listen.
Not sure why driver sizes tend to be smaller these days unless you pay a lot more. Hear that most consumers want more compact mains so drivers are smaller. Kinda sad.
