The diffraction is less of an issue with the mid than with the tweeter. The mid is directional at a frequency below which the baffle comes into play. The tweeter, on the other hand, is still omni and thus illuminates the edge fully.
Bass is supposed to sound big. 6.5" is not a woofer size.

- the mid pod has effectively a 90 degree edge with very little rounding, so diffraction will not be smooth. - Timbo in Oz 10:59:15 11/12/10 (1)
