What would be the ideal room size for large floorstanding speakers?

Depends on the speaker. Room ratios are often as important as volume. Line arrays and planers have less ceiling interaction than dynamic speakers--so this can affect what ceiling height might be appropriate. Construction techniques can also affect overall acosutical volume--for example a stiff wall will make the room acoustically hold energy and thus reduce it's effective volume, where as a flimsy wall will leak energy. How the room is engineered also has a huge effect.

I realize I haven't really answered your question--but that's because there isn't one ideal room size. I'm glad you asked the question though because we get this question regularly--or similar types of very open ended questions like "what's the best room dimensions?" without any other qualifiers. Again--those types of things are dependent on many additional variables.
