The other way around -- the market for large planars (and large speakers of every variety) is smaller than it used to be, so there are fewer large players in the field today.

It seems that people today want small speakers with a high wife acceptance factor, and small wireless speakers are becoming popular as well. It's too bad because as someone pointed out not long ago (don't remember where I read it) many small speakers have compromised performance -- drivers that are used near their excursion limits, marginal bass extension, limited SPL, etc.
