Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Big speakers + small room = Bad?

I think that can certainly be the case when the large speakers are built with the some type of approach as small speakers. Most seem to be, ie. inefficient, small, high-Q drivers in large(ish), nicely-finished bass reflex boxes.

Also, many (most) large speakers are designed specifically to take advantage of a larger space.

There are other approaches, but you won't find them in many HiFi Couture outlets. Convenient, fashionable, accessible and almost universally applicable in modern systems. Which is fine, but there are other ways.

Cheers.
