Can you have too much speaker presence?


My dealer says I’d lose too much speaker presence if I went to a smaller speaker. I’m not posting the speaker in question solely because I don’t want this to become an attack on them. I get it, presence means there and in the area, but can too much become and issue, especially when it is centered in a specific frequency range?

That’s not true a great stand mount have better imaging and excellent soundstaging and depth, just add a quality powered sub .

look at the MBL 126a world class monitor that's also omni directional and excellent off axis . I don’t know how good your electronics are, or front end this too 

has a lot to do with the final outcome , your dac  can be just as important 

as your speakers since all music starts at your front end turntable included.
