While a smaller baffle size may do great things for imaging and placement within the soundstage, it also typically equates to reduced low frequency output and extension. This means having to push the driver harder to achieve "wallop". This results in more power & heat dissipation in the amp and driver itself. As such, it would be better to get a speaker that is both larger and offers more surface area if you really want to rock at high spl's and do so in a good sized room. Sean
