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.

Onhwy61,

While an array of smaller drivers can equal the total surface area of a one or two much larger ones and exceed them in efficiency, doesn't the line array introduce it's own problems of sound source localization?

In a tall line array, the distance between the center of the lowest drive and highest is quite far. Wouldn't the ear be able to detect the different points of origination?
