I know somewhat that it has to do with the cone sizes. My speakers have two 6,5inch cones and 1inch tweeter.

It sounds to me like you are asking about the distance at which a loudspeaker begins to exhibit mathematically predictable far field point source behavior.

Here is an article with a formula and explanation:
