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've only encountered the term "presence" in the context of guitar amps. 

Don't know if this applies but here is a definition from the Fender website:

...the "presence" control...  controls “presence", which boosts upper-mid and treble frequencies in a specific manner that makes the tone sound notably livelier... The quality of this livelier... tone is typically described as being more “present,” thus the name.
