I believe the marketing department these days dictates too much as to the design of a product. And marketing responds to market trends and people's behavior. The other thing that impacts is a wife's goals of room decor. HIGH FIDELITY and the wife's aspirations of room decor are at conflict. IMHO there is no advantage to an inefficient speaker other than being small and inobtrusive, ie almost invisible. The other advantage is the company can market a product with cheap magnets and cheap parts. If you look at the Altec/Western Electric 755 8 inch apeaker or a 604 concentric coaxial speaker and measure things like flux density in the air gap and size of magnet, basket strength, voice coil winding (some used silver wire in 1948) and compare it to a modern cheap speaker then the differences are abhorant. And then most people these days don't care much about quality. You get what you pay for. Ray
