Anyone using L/R Mains with 4" Woofers?

Just curious. I currently have RSL CG24s (MTM) as L/R mains which have 4" woofers. They seem to perform well. Have the AVR crossover set at 90Hz. Wondering though if I'm missing out by not having bookshelf speakers with 5" or 6" woofers. Recently upgraded the center speaker to the Klipsch RP-450c (5" woofers) and am happy with it.

4" woofers can only give you so much below the transition frequency but if you have capable subs, it should be irrelevant if properly designed.

I have a RSL 12S but am saving for a Klipsch RP-1400SW or maybe one of the higher end ported HSU models because the 12S needs a little help with the living area space I have (3500+ CF)

The smallest bass woofer in any of my speakers (even in-ceiling speakers) is 8”, so I don’t do small woofers. :D
