Unless you have a conflict with size on the tower, then the relatively small added cost of a 10-inch upgrade is well worth it, as KG and MLA have suggested.
Wetsounds uses a narrower but deeper pod geometry to obtain the larger displacement. So with that shape in mind, it helps mitigate some of the bulk.
Purely from a sound quality and performance standpoint, a 10-inch upgrade is major.
A 10" is more efficient, so both the speaker and amplifier don't have to work as hard to produce the same output, and that means cleaner.
A 10", based on a combination of more surface area and greater pod displacement (the biggest factor), has deeper midbass extension. And, a 10" has a warmer, more musical balance.
So I'm looking at other benefits other than just the ability to play louder.
For many people, a 10" HLCD tower speaker means they will be permanently satisfied with one pair and a second pair will not be needed.
