hi mapman:
i disagree with you about big speakers in a small room in this respect.
i like planar speakers.
so, i find that a big panel speaker in a small room, e.g, magnepan 20.1, will be preferred to almost any cone speaker, properly set up.
now, i'll agree that a large panel is optimized in a larger room, but it can still sound pretty good in a small room, ut not its best.
note not only room size counts, but room conditions are equally important.
i'll add one maxim:
sacrificing tonality for dimensionality.
her is one more "truism":
most components are not better than one another, just different.
