Case in point - I had a pair of Maggie 3.6R's in a small basement listening area- maybe 10'x15' -- WAY too big of a presence for that room, especially with 7' ceilings. Everything was muddy and compressed as sound waves collided everywhere. Switched them out for a pair of Triangle Celius and the sound was infinitely better even though the Maggies are, I believe, better speakers than the Celius.
As MC points out though, it also depends on the sensitivity and your listening volume.
