Is it still true that a 10-inch speaker will generally sound better than an 8-inch speaker?

I think the Micromark 801 is a great little combo and sounds much 'bigger' than it is. Since the OP is all for ease of transport, I will mention that the strap handle is small to the point where I can get maybe three fingers under it, so I always put it in a bag to transport it. The old Minimark 802 was nice enough, but I didn't keep it as it was heavier and somehow more awkward to carry than my CMD121p, and the latter was cheaper, louder and more versatile. If I ever find or form another acoustic group to go round the showcases, coffee houses and cafés circuit with, I expect the 801 will be what I reach for.

The size of a speaker means nothing.

It is not the only parameter, but it is important. I will agree that it is not the most important part of the spec.

Generally speaking you would have to spend a bit more on a 8" to get the performance of a 10". That's why the Trace Elliot Elf 208 cab is such a pricey little monster.

I'm very happily gigging with my GR Bass GR208. 500 Watts and 4 ohm and makes me wonder if I'll ever use my big rig again
