I save the big works and big volume for my main system. I suspect Glenn will have no trouble at all with his Focals.
They are small but as some say "size doesn't matter". They are not easy to drive. Like you said they sound good, but when you push them 12 watts just ain't enough. Nothing wrong with that, it's just the way it is. My Altecs are huge, but I can drive them with 2 watts to huge volumes. Speaker size is not part of the equation.
