Bigger doesn't simply mean louder. Smaller speakers simply cannot reproduce the
lower frequencies. Look at the charts and graphs. It doesn't matter if it is Yamaha or
Genelec. Granted, they will vary a bit as to how low they go but 5" speakers cannot
do what 8" speakers do.
Just because the speaker is bigger doesn't mean you have to use them louder.
A bigger issue is the acoustics of your room and foam, while ok for taming flutter and
higher end issues, won't do a darn thing about the low end. I had a Roominator
kit in a small room and it still major-ly sucked. You will need bass traps to tame the
low end in that room no matter what size you choose.
There are many 8" near-field monitors. 8" does not equate to mid-field.
Seriously.... listen before you buy.
