"Big speaker sound?" Hummmm...that one might have to be quantified more for me. If you're refering to a bigger speaker as sounding more"full, "weighty", and "authoritive" in the bass reigion, then that's one thing. I've certainly heard speakers that offer a MUCH BIGGER SOUND(potentially, considering good room acoustics and set up) in terms of soundstage, than others!(refering to pair) Infact My older SF electa Amators and MInima Amators produced a HUGE SOUNDSTAGE in a proper set up! The sound was "bigger" than what you'd get from most any speaker, regardless of size! That Dynaudio Essotar 330 tweeter produced as much detail and life as most anything I've heard!
So, when you say "big" I'm just not sure what's being infered.
Also, I'd submit that tiny speakers, even if they have better than average bass response(if that's what's being refered to), will still need a powered sub somewhere to pull off the "full range thing" properly...otherwise you've got a limited aplication monitor...if that's what you're after.(which for some applications is ok) That said, if you're after a monitor that produces a big sound(probably refering to size of soundstage) within its respective frequency response, and you add a well set up woofer somewhere,you should have some overall "big sound"!
Of the "tiny" monitors out there, I have a hard time finding "a pair" that produce a HUGE SOUNDSTAGE personally. You might consider doing multiple minimonitors in a multi channel set up for that.
