You can copy and paste my tables from post #1 into a spreadsheet. Last time I counted, there were 200+ speakers in 2023.How would you go about determining the total number of speaker models released to date?
Maybe a google docs link instead of embedding the spreadsheets? Seems it would be a lot more useful if we could get back to one place for everything?You can copy and paste my tables from post #1 into a spreadsheet. Last time I counted, there were 200+ speakers in 2023.
As for the rest… manually count.

They may be stupid expensive but you've got to hand it to Magico for stuffing a lot of technology into their speakers. Note they also use a Klippel during design so we can add them to the list of manufacturers who do. I would love to see the detailed measurements for these things. Note the 14" wide front baffle with minimal wave guide on the tweeter.
