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?

@ Tony1954 - the smaller speakers are actually quite a bit more expensive! 
Sarcasm only works when you know all the facts:)

My speakers are Focal Maestro EVO’s and room is 16/17 with a wide opening to the kitchen.

Want to thank all the posts related to my question. My speakers are large and sometimes I feel like they give me too much. What I mean by that is the presentation can seem overwhelming at times.
