I think 8" is enough to hear the bass that you need.

Just remember if you can FEEL the bass coming from your monitors, it will be WAY WAY WAY too loud on a bassy system.

What I would call the right bass response for good universal translation to lots of systems is a bass mix that is audible but isn't thumping you.

Monitors are a matter hearing things and getting their volumes right RELATIVE to each other.

Any mix you do that is banging with bass on any studio monitor will be WAY too loud on a regular system.

Also, knowing your monitors is important. That will only come with time though.
Couldn't agree more. You should hear your music not your speakers. That said you need monitors that will "push" the amount of bass electronica has.
6" i don't think would do that, unless, they were REALLY hi-end.
Anyone supplimenting their monitor system with subs?
