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???

Ahhh, I see what y'all are saying now. Hmm. I'm not sure room treatment is an option (cosmetically). I'm not sure I want to insert an equalizer into the room either. Hmm.

 

thanx everyone

So, I moved them in. So far, to my tin ear, everything sounds OK. I’ve not really stress tested anything yet so...time will tell.

I even have the KEF KC62 sub going. This is a VERY cool product and perfect for a small room matched with LS50.

Also, fwiw, 95% of what I listen to is voice and small ensemble acoustic instruments at medium volumes. So far so good.
