It's a complex issue (because you must take bass response smoothness into account), but basically it's small speakers for a small room, and large speakers for a large room. A small room will allow the most bass extension and dynamic contrasts from a small monitor speaker, and a large room must have larger speakers to energize it's volume.
speaker specs & room matching
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to use speaker specs as a guide to room compatability. Is the rooms volume a starting point? Is it the distance from speaker to listener (at vertex). Is this all vis a vis a -3db, -6db , ect, of the speakers measured low frequency response? Or something different all together?
