"When I told him they were too big for that space, he rolled his eyes and said there's no such thing as speakers being too big, just turn the volume down."

Sometimes Less is More?
I have a 12x12 sunroom with cathedral ceiling, tile floor, and windows on three sides.
It is by far the hardest room in my house acoustically.
I find less is more in this room. Small Triangle Titus monitors that only go down to 50 some hz or so seem to do best in there. Other speakers I use in there that extend lower tend to overpower the room resulting in fat obscuring bass.
So I am of the opinion that sometimes less is more, even in high end audio.
How about you?
