Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers?


I'm noticing a lot of folks into high end audio prefer smaller subwoofers (If they add one at all). What are the reasons for not going after a 15", 18" or something even larger?

Seems like the quickness issue comes up a lot, but when you think about it on a larger subwoofer the excursion is not as severe so it would be more in control. Couple that with servo technology and it can be plenty quick and tight, no?

When I used Rel subs or other subs in my audio room, I ran my main speakers full range and used the subs to provide the low end. I also like using smaller/multiple driver subs
