... so deep these days? I know there are a few exceptions which bucks the trend, but certainly most of the bigger companies have this fixation with a policy of 'deeper is better'.
We all know that the rule of thumb is standmounts for smaller room and floorstander for larger... yet it seems if you have a small room and want, let's say, Kef R300s or a midrange Dynaudio then you are knackered.
IMO compact floorstanders are easier when it comes to placement (again generalising).
I always think back to the days when speakers were made wider and higher but relatively shallow.
