In my last purchase I ended up with monitors with 5.25" drivers. Initially I purchased a pair (different manufacturer) with 7" drivers but I returned them. They probably performed better at lower frequencies, but for my acoustic guitar use I didn't need that low end and the model with the smaller drivers seemed to be more articulate/precise and have better imaging. I was in the market for monitors in the range of $400/pair, so my experience of several years ago and my budget limit may not be relevant to you at this time. My advice would be to try to optimize the monitor characteristics against how they will typically be used.
