You might be right in saying that a gigantic increase in room size would tip the scales in favor of getting larger speakers. But in more typical scenarios, I think we should always consider the dispersion characteristics of the speakers and whether or not a stereo system is composed of only two speakers or three or more (sub/sat arrangement). The ability to place the bass modules for optimum bass effect in a sub/sat system might help to overcome differences in room size and I think that dynamic headroom and the proportion of on axis to off axis energy produced by the main speakers are other factors to consider. And I'm not sure it matters, but I should add that my larger 12" X 33" room is attached to a long running, parallel hallway with two open portals (and four smaller, open doorways within the hall itself). The smaller 12 X 15 room was a basically sealed rectangle, so the effective increase in room size I'm talking about is probably even greater than one would suspect at first.
