Why are the best speakers so big?

Nope...

I'd want 2 so I can stack em!

Told it before IMS, but a friend of my uncle had horns through several floors in his house, starting in the basement where the turntable and the amp were, and finishing in the lving room where he'd listen to the music.
So he'd put on a record and jump up the stairs, always arriving too late to hear the beginning.
Bliss!
