Speaker size vs Room size

[admin_exported]

In a standard 1930's town house 13'x13' front room with bay and chimney.

Would a set of KEF 3005's be too 'much' of a speaker package? Would smaller, less powerful speakers be more appropriate or doesn't it matter?

Not at all mate. I too have a 30's built semi and I have KEF IQ9's (picture here http://whathifi.com/forums/t/589.aspx) The 3005's would be fine.

Not at all, seems like a mighty fine plan to me.

In the same sized room in an apartment (c.12/14 by 12/14) would KEF 1005 do the job?

Well, of coure you have to take the extra altitude into consideration, and the ageing of the walls, but...

Yes, they'd be fine, but the 2005s or 3005s would be better.
