A: Larger woofer always makes more low end more available as long as the driver is capable. In this case it is. B2 has a very good balance from low to high end, especially in its price range. I've heard both extensively and myself went with the B2. The more range and headroom you give yourself the better.

Excellent speakers. Very detailed, Great mid-range & decent bass. They are 5 OHM rated that dip into the 3's so you need a good AVR or amp with power to drive them.

Fantastic speaker for the price. Good balance from highs to lows. A lot of articulation in the mid and high registers. Very solid bookshelf.
