"It appears my intelligence circuits have melted"
You posted this before here #57 and I reply with the same answer from my reply #60
What you totally miss is that these guys are talking about studio monitors in studio environment = acoustic treated rooms including bass absorption!
With the SHL5 plus in my 14sqm room I have had very high bass mode peaks up to 15db, withe the C7 X.D. to a lesser degree and with the Graham Chartwell LS3/5a even less. Because of the near field listening position I didn't have to turn the volume up that far compared to a bigger speaker in a bigger room with a bigger listening distance.
I have tested even bigger speakers with a 10" midbass driver in that room and not only the room mode peaks were higher, the reverberation time was ridicules high.
Therefore your "it is a myth" isn't true.
BTW: Please show me the part where it is stated (and why) bigger speakers work better in smaller rooms compared to smaller speakers.
I'm still waiting for an answer to my last question!
He's right. It's a myth.
The size of the speaker is irrelevant.
