I've found the 3"-5" woofers work best with the majority of planar / ribbon tweeters in a passive design.
Why have you found this to be the case for you? Measurement? Listening? Critical response of customers or peers?
Just a gut feeling?
I'm more of a WHY GUY; I don't respond well at all to authoritative statements without descriptions of the reasoning or research behind it.
Combination of reasons. Not always customer-driven; in fact, sometimes they're under the assumption that a 80hz-120hz crossover isn't possible with a subwoofer or they want a 7" to run ported and full-range without a sub.
The driver integration to the tweeters and vertical coverage is easier to optimize with the smaller C-T-C spacing and higher crossover point. Measurements and listening experience.
