Thiele/Small parameters?
In this case, maybe Thiele/Large parameters might be more appropriate?

I would want to know more about things like sensitivity, on/off axis response, etc.

Size matters, sometimes in very negative ways.
 
This is Monk Montgomery on an early Mastersounds album. It's not easy to see in the pic, but that is a real speaker he is sitting in front of. 16ft diameter. I think it belonged to the recording studio but was not used in the recording.
