Does size matter?

I am in a chnaging home situation and maybe looking at smaller room in future.Have your standard size 42"x12"x16" boxes now but looking for high peformance in a smaller box.Still when I throw a set of Sound ASnchors under the monitors well how much space am I saving.Have thought about $4K as target for used market and was thinking of going and giving JM Mini Utopias a listen.Would like a set of new Quads but size and placement become issue.But when I have just looked at size as a criteria I find it hard to believe that some of the companies out there lik e Sonus Faber or Dynaudio have products that really can make a bookshelf speaker worth $8K.But with size vs peformance what is out ther I might nmot be thinking of?

Size does matter if only because you have a trade-off in speakers between 1)(small)Size, 2)effeciency and 3)bass. Mother nature will not let us have all three. If you go for small size you will give up one of the other two(at least). Smaller is likely to be less effecient and put a different load on your amp. Not better or worse, just different.

I remain,
