typically larger speakers produce a more 'full' sound.  however, it's
all a matter of taste.  i can't really tell you what sounds good to
you.  you have to 'listen' to them and determine if they sound good
enough for you.  try a home theater store or a dedicated audio store. 
sometimes even places like Best Buy or Circuit City will have sound
rooms where you can listen to several different audio setups with
different speakers.  then maybe you can compare the KLH speakers with
some other bookshelf speakers or even a larger set of KLH.
you have to be the judge of what sounds good.
