Better than Magico and Wilson audio?


Couldn't you just outdo a Magico by making a cabinet out of brick, stuffing a bit of fibreglass in there and putting your accutons on the front? This would also cost a fraction of the cost of a Magico.

Do people enjoy wasting their money or do people care more about the appearance of a speaker than the way it sounds? 

Why pay so much more when you can have it for far less?

Of course, thanks for stealing my idea.  Once price gets beyond a point it makes a lot more sense for the boxes to be permanent structures or stackable.  Machining aluminum to the degree that these companies do is an absurd way to blow massive amounts of money.  But these are vanity products.  Stuff aimed at rich people is all about talk.  You can talk about how your speakers required decades of machining and three workmen died during assembly.  It makes you special.  
Kenjit,

What I think we should all be most grateful for is how you have posted your designs online so everyone can copy them.

Thanks,

E
Build that better/cheaper mousetrap, bring it to the next audio show, and make yourself rich.  What a simple plan.
Of course you should copy it. So why arent you?

Because you've never actually published anything but word salads.

The problem with people on this forum is they will ridicule my ideas yet they havent the faintest idea why it is a bad idea. 

If its such a bad idea explain why Erik. I dare anyone else to explain why its wrong. 


What a brilliant idea!  Plus with the recent decline of retail audio stores there should be an abundance of audiophile bricks and mortar.
Try it and find out.  You could be on to something big!

Of course appearance matters to many but not all.
I heard that Norm Abram from This Old House was working on a brick speaker. That is, until someone put a mailbox on top of it.

All the best,

People in the DIY communities do this sort of thing often. Go troll their threads. 
Here's a little help to get you started: https://www.diyaudio.com/index.php

Grace them with your infinite wisdom and leave us be to waste our money.


Wait a minute.....I thought dimwit said "his" invention of the infinite baffle design was the best way to make a loudspeaker? Oh, wait.....make the baffle out of bricks. He's right, he is a genius.
@bdp24 

Are you able to explain why my idea is wrong or are you just getting angry at me because you cant?
Indeed, why do so many people waste their money when it is really so easy to make your own.  Look at what a jeweler charges for a diamond.  Why?  A diamond is only composed of one ingredient, and all you have to do to turn that ingredient into a diamond is squeeze really hard.
I have never seen OPs posts here until now. I have checked his previous posts and what I see is that he does play with most especially some members like a cat plays with a mouse. Sorry if I offended anyone but that what it looks like. 
Get Piega coax for a fraction.
No need for a brick design and I prefer it over Magico.

"making a cabinet out of brick"

Gee just a short while ago you were 5 inches of concrete speaker guy ;  and the drill holes in the outside of your house guy. 

" The problem with people on this forum is they will ridicule my ideas yet they havent the faintest idea why it is a bad idea. "

Really,drilling holes in the outside of one's home for one's speakers is the prime example of your nonsense ideas
I don’t think you can copy the Magico cabinet, google 
“magico speaker cabinet” and you’ll see what their cabinet
is all about.
Why does everyone need to prove you wrong kenjit?  Try proving yourself right. You propose an idea so the burden of proof falls upon you to substantiate it with facts and or physical evidence that your proposal meets or exceeds your claims.  Otherwise you are the same as those you flame constantly.  
"Why pay so much more when you can have it for far less?"
Because we can. Spred the wealth, kenjit. Don;t be a cheapo Scrooge. Do you ever think about families of speaker manufacturers? Do you have a heart?
You should start a speaker company and corner the market with your superior design...
Why does everyone need to prove you wrong kenjit?
Surely the real question is this. Why cant even one person spend two minutes explaining why my idea is wrong but they spend far more time trolling, mocking and insulting me? Does that not show how ignorant all of you are?
Because we can. Spred the wealth, kenjit. Don;t be a cheapo Scrooge. Do you ever think about families of speaker manufacturers? Do you have a heart?
So you are admitting that my idea does work? 
not your idea.  I'm sure I'm not the first to have it either but I brought this up in a thread in the last year that you posted in so I know you read it.

@celo, you’re giving him far too much credit. He’s not that clever.

Angry? Naw, amused the same way I am when I see a dog chasing it’s tail.

Which "idea"? Your "invention" of the infinite baffle, or to make an enclosure out of bricks? Since I thought of combining the two (an idea you didn't seem to follow), if you go into business and sell an infinite baffle made of bricks, I want my cut.

Every time I see a ridiculous post like this on Audiogon I don’t even have to look to see who the author is. A least he's consistent ... consistently absurd!
The only reason I clicked on this is that Magico and Wilson are not remotely in the same league. I cancelled my Absolute Trash subscription because the foist Magico on people who presumably can't listen for themselves. Aluminum is probably the worst possible material to make a speaker cabinet from. It is impossible to damp. Anyways, I heard the XVXs yesterday. They are stunningly good! as with each Wilson speaker, there are improvements over the WAMMs - the best speakers in the world. They have newer capacitor designs, possible since acquiring Relcaps. They have a newer midrange driver. paired with a Vivaldi stack, Boulder Pre and power amp and of course Transparent cables, the speakers truly did not exist. Piano sounded as close to real as I have ever heard, and low organ notes were earthshaking!
