My current Tannoy Turnberry GR speakers are the best I've ever owned. They would not have worked well in many of the places I've lived over the years though. Getting the right match for your particular room really is a huge part of the process.
I have stupidly owned big speakers from Egglestonworks and Focal when the room just didn't support them. They were amazign speakers but I really should have moved down to their smaller models. Would have saved money and sounded better.
Likewise I've also tried to fill a moderately large room with small monitor speakers. That didn't go so well either. Even really nice speakers (in my case some Wilson Benesch) that should have sounded stunning in a normal room, did not do the job in that space. So again it matters how many square feet you are trying to fill with sound.
