Speaker size and soundstage

Question: for floor standing speakers, how does speaker size affect sound stage, bass response, and the depth of music?

I’m searching for a new speaker, and just tested Dynaudio Contour 30 against Tekton Electrons (16x18 room with cathedral ceiling). Tekton’s are bigger (48 vs 45 high, and 10 vs 8.5 wide, about the same depth) and had a much larger sound stage and greater dynamics and depth. Tekton’s as a rule are much bigger than most other brands, which can be imposing in a room, but the size must equate to a greater sound stage. 
But can a smaller tower be designed to achieve the same sound stage and bass depth of a bigger speaker? If so, what what speakers pull this off?

According to some comments it seems that Harry Potter was selling cables to some members of this forum ... I will never cease to be surprised by the capabilities that some people assign to a couple of cables.

Soundstage, breadth, depth? engineers and years of studies to understand and build systems that offer specific characteristics to the sound like those mentioned above (and the interaction with the listening room) but it turns out that all this does not really matter ... you just have to change the cables! Yes baby!!
