Well,
Let's consider other Philco chairside models that used a separate speaker cabinet.
You will notice that all of them have speaker cabinets that are larger than the chairside radio cabinets. In the case of the 1935 model 16RX, the speaker cabinet is roughly the same size as the 16CPX speaker cabinet. A different style, of course, but still very large.
My opinion is that it was done as much as a fashion statement as it was for sound quality.
