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?

millercarbon, have you ever considered useful responses?


I have, and have come to the conclusion the most useful response isn’t always the one that takes the question the most seriously. And here’s one for you: have you noticed how when people attack me personally as you have just done, that’s okay? For example, it seems to be just fine for the usual schlubs and schlemiels to get on my case for recommending speakers, and they always do it in the most childish boring direct way imaginable. Like, scroll up, "millercarbon always about Tekton."

What is that like, third grade? No. Actually a lot of third-graders write better.

Me, I take the time to craft clever prose, which you must admit Ohmmmmm had to crack you up, at least a little. Probably more than a little. And the guy in question, he’s always going on about how great Ohmmmmmm are, you get the same perfect sound anywhere in the house. So he must be in a trance. It’s not useful to know? It must be stated in the same plodding style every time?

Consider creativity! Celebrate diversity! Or if you find that too hard, well at least maybe not be such a schlub?
As originally intended the buyer would sit cross legged in the room, not even need to connect the speakers, merely chant the name Ohmmmmmm ohmmmmm ohmmmm ohmmmmm ohmmmmmm over and over again, after several hours inducing a trance state in which transcendental audio performance is imagined. Then someone pointed out the many insurmountable problems with the speaker itself. But being a small company they could only afford to tackle one, and so the name was shortened to just Ohm.
I too have long wondered why manufacturers don't limit their sales by telling customers they only really work in certain limited situations. Also why would they charge more just because they need to use more material to make the product? Fascinating questions. Can't wait to hear if anyone is able to come up with the answer.
