Product families and platform boundaries

SoundPath Lab currently tracks seven Tier C loudspeaker records: four passive bookshelf models and three powered-speaker records, all at L0.

Powered and wireless generations may rely on Klipsch Connect, firmware or partner electronics, which must be verified per model.
