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'

well sir ,  you have good hearing  selling the speakers  i was happy to read that. Then you said 
B&W.  Keep looking about.  Speaker wire , Amp,
 Pre, all work to fix the problem.  i don't know how far from the wall the speakers can be  so i won't comment

This is what happens , Some expert will say,,,
,,Ribbons and AMTs that spread around sound will sound bigger than a single dome tweeter.    The top two the Professional talks 
about need to be a way from the wall behind the Speakers.  start at 40 in  out  then move around  
 the 3rd tweeter is the one
