One other factor may be a phrase I see a lot on my local Craig's List in the electronics section when it comes to speakers, "downsizing and don't have room". More monitors on stands these days as baby boomers move to condos and apartments? I also have DQ-20, but WAF is better with the 2Ci since nice wood top and mostly black cloth rectangular body tends to visually disappear, more so than the DQ-20, which also is mostly black with some wood, but with metal grille and sloped shape.
