Lose weight or buy better fitting pants

I have big A$$ Tannoys In my medium sized listening area and they sound great. Little to no room treatments to speak of, but room is well balanced with furniture and acutraments. Speakers towed In quite heavily, and they are concentric drivers, so they project the sound out of the box and to my ears quite well.

You either have a room that can be converted into a listening space or not. 

If you do, you cram the BIGGEST speakers in the most appropriate position, and the room is treated as needed.

If you're like most, you have the system in a living space, controlled by the boss(Significant other) and practicality. Nothing but compromise and small speakers in a  sub optimum location are what's left to enjoy.

Deal with it, and play with fuses and wallet draining doo dads.

I'll have you know that I am the HEAD of the Household.

My Wife however, is the NECK😀

Glad I don't have that problem.

You would design the speakers to fit the room, instead of fixing the room.

It’s another way of saying get the appropriate speakers to fit the size of the room, which I agree. Generally, small speakers for small rooms, large speakers for large rooms. However, that doesn’t work out that way all the time as mentioned by few people here. Some speaker designs allow close placement to wall boundaries while some designs require the speakers to be placed out of the room with considerable free space from the rear and side walls. With the former, large speakers may be able to fit smaller rooms with minimal ill-effect to the sound reproduction.

I have mid-sized monitors in a long and narrow room measuring 10.5’ x 20’ x 9’. All my speakers require space from the wall boundaries hence they are selected based on the size to fit the room. I have tried larger speakers in this room and they don’t sound as good as the smaller speaker.
