What makes speaker's sound big?


Does a speaker need to have many drivers or a large driver area to sound big and fill the room?
I am asking this question because I have a pair of tekton design double impact and would like to replace them with smaller speakers and a pair of subwoofer's to better integrate the bass into my room.
I just borrowed a set of B&W 702S. The are good but the just don't make that floor to ceiling sound that I like.
Maybe I have already answered my own question (: But again I have not heard all the speakers out there.
My room measure 15x19' and the ceiling goes from 7.5 to 12.8'

I had the double and packs with the 410 subs, two of them and it’s filled the room nicely. Then I got rid of the double impacts and got the moabs speaker and that really fill the room. It shakes the furniture it makes you feel like you’re there. I think you need lots of drivers to get that affect. You just can’t have a three-way speaker with a single subwoofer and get that same feeling as you can with the Tekton s
