Is room size considered when they design speakers?


Never see speakers saying best used in a 15 x 15 room.   
Also, why do speaker cabinets tend to be larger as they get more expensive? Not easy to answer. I know bigger handles bigger drivers but is this the only reason?

Great questions!  I too can’t figure out if big speakers work better in big rooms or small ones.  Manufacturers of speakers give no guidance as to what speaker works best where.

2 companies that come to mind are OHM and Canton, both give guidance as to what speaker works best in what space.

And another great question is why does a 7 series BMW cost more than a 3 series?
