NLA vs Advent 1 enclosure

So I'm thinking of rebuilding my Advent 1 cabinets for an ewave and I have heard the NLA have the same drivers.

Would it make sense to increase the cabinet size to be that of the NLA? The Advent 1is typically in a 1.068 sqft enclosure.
Did the new large advents have a better bass response than the smaller ones?

Yes, the cabinet size is the determining factor in bass response in this case. Both systems have the same drivers and the Advent/1 sacrifices the lowest octave in trade for the smaller enclosure.

I just may have to explore this option. I have an early and late pair, the latter having the nice real wood finish. The prior aren't in the best shape, so moving those into a larger cabinet sounds like a good option.

Are the tweeters also the same? What about the network?
 
I think the capacitor is the same for both...13uf ? I think everything is the same except the cabinet size.
 
OK so if I can dig a little deeper with a larger cabinet I'll definitely do that.

I'm not so much interested in the crossover network because these are getting ewave treatment.

What is the internal volume of the NLA?
