does the size of the speaker - width and height, correlate to realistic sound?
A sad reality is that the only (conventional) way of getting big bass with minimal size of enclosure is to use a sealed box, and power the bass driver with a humungous, say 2.4kW power or bigger, amp.While there are quite a few examples of small speakers that sound big, almost always this comes with a power penalty most especially in the bass department.
Pictures, Jack? Pictures of what?? Perhaps, perhaps you mean of something that I have that's big ...Pictures Frank, Pictures! Hahahahaha!
Interesting. So you weren't getting the height with those speakers, perhaps it was a system problem. I've noted, as many others have, that with a setup on tune that the sound appears to increase in height, or more correctly, keeps in line with the vertical position of one's head. My bottom of my HT speakers are a touch over 2 feet from the floor but have no trouble in projecting an image at the correct height if I stand in front of them.This is one reason I had to have something different than the Watt/Puppies. On orchestral works, I was getting a balcony view instead of a floor view. Same with singers, the image was too short.
Don't worry, it's still on its way: I'm really focusing on getting a class D to do the job, and they are a bit tricky, because everything depends on everything, the talk on feedback in the other thread in fact was quite relevant here. The nice thing is that it should be able to do of the order of 1200W per side continuous, better than AB could, and be relatively light as well ...2.4kW not your imagination my friend!

In my experience, yes. Most specially for 'height'. I can't imagine singers to be realistic when their height is somewhere near the wall outlet, about a foot above our floors, which I have heard from some bookshelf speakers on stands. When I shifted from the B&W 801s to the 800s, it convinced me forever. So much so that after the 800s, the next speaker that would suit my needs was an equally tall Magnepan.

What is the definition of a large and small speaker? Is there a certain size of a cabinet or panel that is a tipping point?
