any go bigger than 18 anymore?

My bass is tuned lower at f#beadgc and i mainly use 10s but i also like 12s. I like some 15 cabs. I don't think the size of the speaker matters much at all in comparison to the quality of the speaker and the cabs design. If money were no option id probably have a greenboy 12/6 and a 15 sub. But because i run an xlr to foh my cab is mainly just a stage monitor and doesn't really matter enough for me to justify buying a really expensive cab.

Alright, maybe not the best thread to ask.. but : if I look at the size of speakers, I always think about giving extra low, or supporting the lower stuff better.

Lets say I have a 5 string bass and tune the low B down to A, what is better to use : 10 inch, 12 inch or 15 inch?[/QUOTE
