Bigger drivers = bigger soundstage

Ideally, I don’t like to be aware of a speakers location in a room and like having sound being well centered for tv/movie listening.  I have two listening rooms and the one with larger drivers (older) fills room so much better vs better speakers (newer) with smaller drivers.  Room acoustics favor larger driver speakers.  
Seems dispersion is better.  The larger driver speakers do not image as well but very enjoyable to listen too. 
So now I am upgrading the smaller driver speakers to better and larger driver speakers and it follows a larger speaker cabinet also occurs.

all speakers herein are from same manuf.

So many rabbit holes herein. All worthy of explanation.  So much so hard to follow.

speaker designers will tell you it’s hit or miss when putting it all together.  
A rigid heavy speaker with ample cabinet room behind a driver with a mounting structure that don’t resonate, is key to transmitting sound.  Larger bass drivers help if they don’t distort, too small ain’t good.  A shoebox size speaker is clearly too small.

Inefficient, thanks

ya know, u raise a point where larger drivers may fill room better where placement offers more flexibilty.  That’s why I feel well designed larger drives offer so much. Yeah!
