I'm not sure that I buy the argument for larger drivers being presented here. Large drivers can produce high volume levels at low distortion, but they are expensive and require large and more complex enclosures. I don't disagree with that, but the same argument can be used against larger drivers. If high volume and low distortion are the goals then why settle for a 15" driver, or even a pair of 15 inchers? Why not go with a dozen 8" drivers? The 8" array would have slightly less than twice the surface area of a dual 15" design and should be able to go louder with less distortion. Of course, twelve drivers would be more expensive than two and the enclosure would be large and have a low WAF. My point is that it's not the size of the driver, but the overall design they are used in which determines overall sound quality. I guess there is no substitute for total driver surface area.
Preference for large drivers?
Just wondering is there a following for the speakers with larger drivers and which ones(brands & models)?
Does the bass sound better?
Does that include monitors?
I am interested in getting a monitor in a second room set-up, some monitors come with larger drivers, are those the ones I should be considering?
By the way one requiremnet is a less or non-resonant cabinet.
