Agree, but your mix is better.

Yes but surely larger speakers are designed for louder volumes, and I would think maybe they are designed for 'midfield monitoring' (if there is such a thing), or indeed larger rooms? I am sure I read in a forum that the 8" cones of (someones) monitors didn't start giving an accurate response until they reached a certain volume?
