Lose weight or buy better fitting pants

Sorry JP.  Makes no sense at all, save not to put very large speakers in small rooms.

And a long narrow room with low ceilings is a corridor.  Or a railway carriage.

I have a pair of Wilson Maxx's in a 12x14 foot room and they sound great. Design wise, they have extremely well controlled bass. I've had smaller speakers in the room that were not as well balanced. It's taken a bit of work, including some room treatment to get them optimised. However, the room treatment has been focused on dealing with reflections - the room has needed no bass trapping. Ceteris paribus would the system sound better in a bigger room - yes. But while the answer to the question posed by jpwarren58 is no, every speaker/room combination needs to be considered uniquely.

Definitely no significant other problem in my listening room. She doesn't even have the keys to it 🙂

Life has never been better since I built this house of stereo. Man cave all the way. BIG speakers and room treatment galore. Southern comfort by Crusaders gave me goose pumps last evening. 

What’s a goose pump?  Reminds of a statue I saw in Berlin years ago.

Your response is truly a gem and quite correct IMHO.  Laughed hard enough to throw my back out.........
