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.
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?

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. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/metal-cabinet-speakers/post?postid=1774798#1774798 |
