| Interesting that you think the larger Maggies should be more efficient (which implies they don't need any more power to drive them).
That's usually the case with conventional box speakers.
As I understand it though the reason for that is matching the woofer response with the mid & tweeters. The mid & tweets are already more than enough sensitive out of the driver but smaller cabinet gives less efficient bass especially if you want extension.
So smaller boxes have to pad down the mid & tweet to match the lower-sensitivity woofer.
Seems that with maggies that isn't the case as much---the mid and tweet are the same, and larger size gives more bass extension and max SPL.
