I wrote about this phenomenon in a recent thread:
Just read through some of your excellent spot on research,, My findings are indenpent and thought i was the only one here who is bringing awareness of this revelation,, = That big is not always better and in this particular case, big is NOT superior. In fact worse in most ideal listing rooms size.
The Sacnspeak Revelator says 7 incjh,,,but from rubber surround edge to edge its as the SEAS Excel 7 inch, 5 1/5 inch.
I have no doubt in the lower bass fq's the Revelator may surpass the Excel,,,but then in other higher fq's , I am not so sure for MY personal preferences. That revelator is one heck of a midbass no doubt.
So gald you have made these observations public and thereby bringing enlightening EDU nto us audiophiles which , as you know can be easily persuaded into thinking we really needa 8 inch woofer.
We don't,
The 5 1/5 inchmidwoofer is not only odeal, but is absolutely perfection in reproducing true super high fidelity bass.
8 inch woofer may be acceptable,, but when compared next toa 7 incj, the altter will always win out.,,,,, 10 inch is obsolete in most listening enviornments.
This Bifrost offers a 8 inch midwoofer and is paired with the SEAS Flagship Cresendo,,But is the Nextel 8 superior to the Excel 7 ??

I have this same Jacnitha cd, and will upload a YT vid and post it here,, you tell me which mid is superior,,keep in mind this Bifrost has far superior mic vs my Sony.
The Bifrost sounds warmer, = if warmer is your thing, maybe the Bifrost is your choice,,But then how are the other components voicing the muisc??
Hard to determine.
