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?

in fairness, this is not universal.  Scansonic literally offers guidance to us and to consumers on what type of room to use each speaker in and as you rise in their line, the recommended room size increases.  

I am sure there are others, but this one in particular springs to mind.  

As a speaker maker, I don't want to "limit" who will buy my speakers but in the same token, if someone comes to me and says they want to use my speakers in a small room, up against the wall, I am going to tell them explicitly not to buy them.  All its going to do is make them unhappy.
