I am new to the hobby but the more I read the more I understand that tower speakers will make more sense to a basshead music lover with a 30sq meters living room like me.
It is just that I don't like them at all. But to an extend that this looks to me like a 'non compatible' object with a living room.
And by having these thoughts I realized something.
I am 57 years old, low to middle class, lived in 3 different European countries, have a big cycle of friends/colleagues/relatives and NEVER visited an appartment/house which had tower speakers.
But never.
And I visited some really big houses as well. Not only flats.
So I guess this explains why tower speakers seem so uncommon, so unfamiliar to me.
But it also makes me thing of something else.
Are tower speakers more a US audio gear consumers thing?
Maybe due to the fact that the average US home is bigger that the average European?
Or even the 'bigger the better' American mentality plays a role here?
You might of course have a different experience than mine.
