This is important because optimizing a large room with various obstructions, if any, would require completely different equipment than what it would take to fill smaller room with the same level of sound. For example, an 8" subwoofer may be ideal for a smaller room whereas a 15" or multiple subwoofers may be required for a large room or hall.
