Small drivers vs big drivers
Hi,
I have a question that is always in my mind recently. I see some speakers with small drivers (5-9 inches) that is reviewed to be able to throw out big sound stage and go down to 18hz-20hz. Some other speakers with big drivers (10-15 inches) though are commented to have 'big sound stage' but can only go as low as 30-35hz.
To make the situation more complicated, some speakers have small drivers but there are many of them. Can many small drivers be compensate for the size limitation?
I don't know which specs determine a wide sound stage and the ability to reach low frequencies. What is the pros and cons of each design?
Thank you!
Huy.
