Seems like you’re looking for data like this: https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/loudspeaker-market Otherwise, I have no idea why you see the advertisements you see. Maybe others in this forum are market analysts with actual empirical data about the number of sales in different categories and why. It’s way beyond most of us, I’m guessing. |
Lazy run of the mill reviewers who can’t be bothered to handle a heavier speaker, i.e., a floorstander. Get em in, get em out as soon as ya can, it’s a business. Nothing looks more goofy than that cheapman audio grunt sitting around between 2 matchbox speakers the size of his palms, over and over. It’s almost like he’s striking a pose, thinks he’s Fabio or something, as he sits between 2 crap ferns (pukosaurus rex). To be fair to Guttenberg, he looks like he might just whither away if he moved anything heavier than 10 lbs. Aside for more affordability, nothing is better on lousy bookshelfs in undersized cabinets.

Bookshelf speakers have been around for over 60+ years. The invention of the Acoustic Suspension woofer changed the game allowing the use of a small enclosure to produce decent bass. https://smartcarting.com/the-history-and-evolution-of-bookshelf-speakers/ |
