The overall poundage of a product is a design issue by the manufacturer. For loudspeakers it's usually related to cabinet construction. Large multi-way box speakers require large cabinets which dictates large weight.
As a consumer I am wary of and loudspeakers that I couldn't move around the listening room by myself. It would seriously discourage experimentation with speaker positioning. To my way of thinking a loudspeaker that requires a team of piano movers to position is ridiculously excessive.
