Can you have too much speaker presence?

For some reason the OP seems unwilling to share more details about his system or room, which frankly pisses me off and leaves us all spinning our wheels here largely for nothing.  Have fun guys — I’m out. 

My dealer says I’d lose too much speaker presence if I went to a smaller speaker…

but can too much become and issue, especially when it is centered in a specific frequency range?

Lose too much “speaker presence?” Seriously??? Can’t believe a dealer even used that term. If any frequency range is being emphasized (or de emphasized) it’s a problem. Depends on how big your room is, room treatments, speaker/seating position, ancillary equipment, etc., etc. Too many variables here for any of us to give you any meaningful help, and we’re just throwing darts at a board blindfolded here. Share more info and you’ll get some meaningful help/advice here. Keep everything secret and all you’ll get are largely random guesses. Up to you chief. I will say that, depending on room size, sometimes going with monitors and two subs can be preferable to towers for several reasons, but as we basically know nothing it’s impossible to say if that’s something to consider here or not.

My bad I guess for not thinking to check the profile page.  Nice system, and best of luck in wherever you go from here.  I think I can see why you wanted to at least explore monitors possibly with a couple good subs?  Can’t the dealer lend you some stuff to demo at home?
