IMO, the only thing big speakers buy you is bass. Other than that, they detract from good imaging and soundstage. That's why I like small speakers with a subwoofer in a small room. I like my speakers placed well out into the room for the best imaging and soundstage, but woofers don't produce deep bass when placed far away from walls. That's why I'm a firm believer in the satellite/subwoofer arrangement. It just sounds better to me.If you want more volume in a small room, there are small floor standing speakers that will provide loud volume levels. However, I think you might still need a subwoofer against a wall to get strong deep bass. The subwoofer need only reproduce the bottom octave, but it really adds to the realism. I have my subwoofer's low-pass filter set for 55-Hz. All you hear with the satellites turned off is a deep rumble, but it fills out the bottom end beautifully.
Anyway, I like small speakers with a subwoofer in a small room. And, I like my subwoofer placed behind my listening position about the same distance from my ears as the satellites in front.
Best regards,
John Elison
