Lose weight or buy better fitting pants

We talk about fixing the room constantly but couldn't the size and shape of the speakers be the problem?

I realize it is not economically feasible for manufacturers, but this could possibly relate to dyi folks.

For example a long narrow room with low ceilings would have speakers proportionate to the dimensions of the room. Smaller tweeters, drivers, with an enclosure mimicking the room. You would design the speakers to fit the room, instead of fixing the room. Start with the room as a extra enclosure.  Make sense?

I would think that large speakers would work just fine in a small room. Turn down the volume. Small speakers would not work in a large room as you would get distortion before reaching the volume you desire.

Now while I may not be an expert in acoustics, my physics is above average and sound does not behave any different in audio than any other pursuit.

Boundary issues would be a factor of wavelength and distance to the walls. Whether you have a big speaker or small speakers, they will behave the same effectively. I would have to give it more thought, but the larger emitting surface area may even have a distinct averaging property reducing the boundary effect.

You are going to have to try much harder with your drive by poorly disguised insults.
