What is the big deal about Voice Coil Size?

some general comments

tweeters = smaller the size usally is better due to lower mass and smaller dia. smaller dia means beaming will take place at higher frequencies.

mid drivers = 2" is sometimes better than 1" since the lowest possible frequency the mid driver can reproduce factors in diaphragm dia. for 3 way mass is less of a problem. 2 way systems mass becomes and issue and you would not see 3" coils on drivers used in 2 ways.

woofers = 4" usally has more power handling than 3". But since the mass of a 4" is higher than a 3" there is usally a trade off in reguards to the lowest possible frequency the woofer can reproduce.
