That doesn't seem to be taken into account by many of the speaker makers
either. More expensive speakers often have 2 or 3 small drivers (what I'd
term mids) in an attempt to shift enough air to make some bass. There does
seem to be a lot of focus on producing a small cabinet that will fit in
nicely to your wife or girlfriend's plan for the living room.

Do hi-fi buffs inevitably attract female partners obsessed with
interior design?

I don't know. It seems that way if you read a hifi magazine. My bird's quite
happy to have massive speakers about the place, but we'd both rather have a
hifi in a room than a telly.
