This is a debate which I have been always involved with. Being brought up by an old-school father, the understanding is that the modern floor standers, however expensive or high end they are, are just not good enough for reproducing low frequencies if they have 4 inch, 5 inch or 6 inch woofers. My father used to always tell me that the minimum woofer size should be 8 inches (7 inch+ cones), better still if the woofer is a 10 inch one and even better still if it is a 12 inch one. He used to swear by the horn loaded 15 inch altecs which he used to hear at the cinema. Personally, I've never tried to purchase floorstanders with woofer size below 8 inches, because of this. Any thoughts on this?
