What makes speaker's sound big?

Does a speaker need to have many drivers or a large driver area to sound big and fill the room?
I am asking this question because I have a pair of tekton design double impact and would like to replace them with smaller speakers and a pair of subwoofer's to better integrate the bass into my room.
I just borrowed a set of B&W 702S. The are good but the just don't make that floor to ceiling sound that I like.
Maybe I have already answered my own question (: But again I have not heard all the speakers out there.
My room measure 15x19' and the ceiling goes from 7.5 to 12.8'

I have a pair of Tekton Ulfberhts. They are 7ft tall and contain quite a few drivers. They certainly sound big.

I also have a single driver LII Audio Fast 8 in a simple open baffle by itself. Amazingly they sound big also!

Both sound big in the room I have them it. It's quite striking. The room isn't everything, but it has a LOT to do with how "big" a speaker sounds.
