"Does the Hartsfield project a bigger image/soundscape due to its width?"
Do you mean, because corner placement would put the Hartsfields further apart?
Soundstage width is related to setup geometry. The T-3’s would not be in the corners so if they are placed close to the sidewalls theoretically they could subtend a slightly wider angle, but normally I would expect the Hartsfields to cover a wider angle. I never heard a "hole in the middle" with either of them (or the T1), regardless of room size.
I noticed more soundstage depth with the T-1’s and T-3’s than with the Hartsfields.
"Do either the t 3.3 or hartsfield play loud enough for larger rooms, say 36x25?"
Oh yeah. Both of them, but the Hartsfields especially.
The Hartsfields have the most impact of any speaker I have heard. Heard them on two occasions, both of which were truly memorable. Once was at T.H.E Show in Las Vegas (concurrent with CES). My brother and his wife, and I and my wife, stopped by the room. Our wives couldn’t resist the call of the Hartsfields and both got up and just started dancing. I resisted the urge but my butt was shaking in its chair.
Note that the levels of the midrange and tweeter are user-adjustable. So if the top end sounded a bit "hot" to someone under show conditions, smoothness is just a knob-twiddle away.
