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?

I have in the past, but own no longer Stand Mount Tannoy Speakers.

In conjunction with these I have a Floor Standing Three Way Speaker at approx' 44" High (still owned and used) and 6' x 3' ESL's (still owned and used)

Either of these Speakers have been/are capable of filling a room with attractive sound, each have attractions and detractors unique to each Speaker.

Each have supplied numerous hour of music replays where an alternative speaker was desired.

Accepting the differences between the Three Designs and learning each ones  strengths, and how they offer certain genre's a uplift is a experience worthwhile having.
