I agree that it is a matter of Quality vs Quantity, I would always go with quality.
At one time I had a large room (24x13) and had my two Rel Strata's hooked up to LS3/5a's, even though I had my main speakers which were Kef Reference 2 (excellent speakers in their own right), it was musical bliss when it came to the Ls3/5a's!
YMMV
