I think that is what you are hearing. The smaller speakers have less crossover issues, and are far more tight and accurate. Floorstanders have better bass, in some cases better suited for larger rooms, but dollar for dollar they cannot recoup their inherent drawbacks. Unless they use small drivers, design smallish cabinets to get them tight and accurate too..Having said all of that.. Some surround AVR's are not all that good doing stereo and/or driving larger speakers. If you have a sub it is important to get speaker settings and crossovers accurately set, otherwise it becomes awfully muddy...</blockquote>
