Speakers "Too Big" for room

I have an office with KEF LS50 speakers. I’m gonna try to move in some large Infinity full-range speakers. Typically, conventional wisdom would say that these speakers are too big for the room. I’ll know for sure how they will sound but, why would anyone say that. Why can’t you put large speakers in a small room???

Big speakers in a small room will load the room quicker then small speakers in a small room. Loading the room means sound pressure level. smiley

My L.R. is about 16'X14' and would love to have a pair of JBL L-300's or 4333's but it just doesn't seem like the room's big enough for them. So I have JBL L-100T's with updated crossovers 

I had my JBL 4430's in a 14'x16'x9' room. I also had my JBL L65's, JBL 4315's in the same room. I will note that you can sit in close proximity to the 4430's, 4435's and 4425's with no loss of stereo image see here and here. For in the what it's worth category, there is no perfect room! 😎

Enjoy the journey.
