I have to agree. I don’ tthink most people understand WHY size makes a difference here, but I will try to explain.
Just as a speaker needs to be loaded for optimal sound and that loading is dictated by the parameters’ like Vas, Fs, SPL, Qes, Qts...the front end has limited ability to move a rooms at an even prressure. Though some speakers do a better job of it even if they have smaller cones and cone excursion, the sound quality suffer immensely as they became less able to move the specified amount of air.
I actually had the misfortune about a year ago at one of the oldest and better(well some people think so) sound stores in the Metro Denver area, where they fried to impress me with a Mackintosh amps ability by connecting it to a pare of smaller B&W bookshelf speakers. I have NOTHING against B&W, but size counts and they lost a sale jsut because of a salesman’s ineptitude.
Then bottom line is where Calrsbad@’s head phones only have to evenly pressurize maybe 1 cubic inch of space (room) and these little bookshelf speakers are expected to pressurize cubic yards of space, they miss the mark in a huge way.
This might help.
