Room size.

I often see folks recommending speakers (or discouraging) certain speakers based on size of the listeners room.  While I have a good idea what would be considered a small room (both length and width no more than 15 ft), I am uncertain on the drawing line between a medium/moderate room and a large room.  Would a 15 x 20 ft be considered medium, and 20 x 25 a large? Disregarding room height for now.

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.
