I have heard big speakers in a small room and sometimes they can sound very good. Thus....
1. Listen to the speakers if you can get them through the front door and know your room
2. Know the type of music you like and audition with that, not the Amanda Mcdoom or other hifi recording recommended.
3. Match the amp and speakers. Have enough power and or efficency of speaker.
4. Know the room and place the speakers in at least two different configurations in the room.
5. Realize that what you like today, you will likely change in 2-6 months.
6-10 listed above
