OT - Why not go big?

[StarTrucker]

Got my RS124 output transformers from Sowter and they fit in my palm. They sound great but physically small. If size means bass, why not go big as your project enclosure will allow if prices are about the same? Just a sound and flavor choice? 15 watter for everything Sta-Level style?

..because of Barkhausen distortion..?

My experience is that smaller cores of certain compositions can help bring instruments and vocals more forward, making mixing easier.

You have to somewhat understand the 6dB/oct bass headroom effect, along with Barkhausen. Then play it as you will.
