Speaker size guidelines

My son always says, "Go big or go home". 

 

Bigger typically provides a "bigger" sound.  I have three LaScalas in a 13' x 19' room.  Some say LaScalas need a big room.  Bigger room might sound better, but they sound pretty awesome to me.  My son has RF-7 and RC-64ii in a 12' x 12' bedroom and sits 3' from them on a rocker chair in front of his bed.

What size room do you have, how far are the speakers from the seats, basement or upstairs, etc. should all be a consideration.  This along with the other gear will help determine speaker size.  Also, the primary use.  For music, put more money into the speakers.  For HT only, smaller speakers paired with subs can be just as impressive.  Also, space constrints on placement will also come into play.  Family rooms and living rooms may dictate a smaller speaker due to aesthetics and WAF.  Only you can answer most of these questions. 

 

The two choice of speakers are close enough that if you answer these questions, the right choice can be made.  Is this going to be  a dedicated HT?  List your other gear and post a pic of the room for better feedback.
