Where do you draw the line.Can a speaker be too large for a given video room?

Only if you can't fit anything else in the room ;-)

Seriously, I've had wonderful experiences with large speakers in fairly small rooms. One of my fondest memories is of a homemade JBL professional series speaker system (circa 1971) with very large horns for the midrange and tweeter and 15-18 inch woofers all housed in large cabinets in a room no bigger than 12 by 15. The sound was great. Usually, it's the bass that might be too "large" sounding with large speakers in a small room, but video systems tend to have one or two subwoofers so a large speaker system in a small room may simply remove the need for one or both of those. My two cents.
