I recently had the opportunity to install Summa's in my way-above-average-sized living room which is also quite reverberant. I found the Summas there to sound slightly different than my much smaller home theater but still quite impressive.
The point that I'd like to make is that small rooms exacerbate many commmon loudspeaker problems and make the choice of speakers more difficult. The larger room is a better place to listen and the improved sound of a good loudspeaker will only sound better. I have found this to be true in my own home.
So when I say that the Summa's were designed for a small room, that simply means that they were designed for a small rooms problems but that does not at all preclude these improvements as being apparent in a big room.
You are welsome to come and hear all of this for yourself. An investment of this sort would warrant an afternnon of listening and perhaps a brief tutorial on acoustics from an expert. I guarantee it would be a trip that you wopuld never forget.
