Weltersys,
Interesting. But I still see no viable counter to my initial response.
I'll reiterate; the doubling of cone-surface area results in a subjective increase in the 'weight' of tones at lower frequencies - lower-mids and bass - middle-mids and treble are not similarly affected.
But this should not be too difficult to understand if you consider that; the larger the surface-area, the more efficiently lower frequencies are driven - it's elementary, really.
Oh, and I'm certainly not advocating 'tone deviation'. My point is that small mid-woofers display a dearth of lower-mids, relative to the instruments being reproduced, and increasing the cone-surface area actually increases the 'weight of tone' to a closer semblance of that of the instruments in this lower-mids region. This is no less than I've done countless times, in my own experiments. But if you need further evidence, refer to the Audio Critique's account regarding similar discoveries in double-stacking identical Coincident mini-monitors. Or better still, try it yourself.
Best wishes!
