Matching speaker size to room volume.
This has been on my mind and I think it would be fun to hear your opinions (if you have any)
I purchased my B&W 683 floorstanders before I knew about matching speaker size to room size.
My room is irregularly shaped, roughly 15x17x7.5 with an imposing box/wall bringing it to 1,700 cubic feet. I’d say the room is slightly on the dead side due to shape and furnishings.
The listening triangle is: speakers about 10ft apart, me about 12 feet back. I feel like I’ve got everything dialed in just so. Good imaging, etc. I have bass traps and absorption panels in the back corners so room pressurization rarely gets out of hand. I mostly listen to 50/60’s bop, romantic period classical and neo folk (e.g. Bonnie prince Billy et al)
I find the system is very satisfying, but can’t help but wonder what opportunities I’ve missed not auditioning monitors before I bought these 3-way floorstanders.

Any thoughts?
