Nonsense. It depends on several factors bu is certainly not as simple as you suggest (or often even in that direction!):
1. rollover frequency - lower means less coloration due to cone distortion2. Area - Pi*R^2 = more is better to move air; more area also means less excursion required = less distortion of some types3. flip side, more are means more flex --> mitigated if not being used as a midrange - back to roll off frequency
A badly designed speaker is just that. For smaller two-ways the trad-offs are major and you will have issues in the midrange if large, no bass if small.
With a properly designed, hgih quality drivers, well-amped 3 or 4 way speaker, bigger is, within reason, better. Bu that is all things equal, which they rarely are.
