Honestly I think you get used to the sound of the box listening to so many box speakers throughout your audio life. I never thought I could hear the box until I finally purchased spatial audio x5 open baffle speakers. Once you hear a properly designed open baffle speaker it's hard to go back to a conventional box speaker for me. YMMV but I know I will most likely never go back to a box speaker.
I heard the Box
I never quite followed what people meant when they commented "All I heard was the box"
when listening to a speaker.
I experienced it now twice in the past month. Once with some Dynaco A25s and then with a pair
of Electrovoice EV 4s.
My problem is now that hear the box, I can't seem to unheard it.
These old gems were meant to be used in my office mostly for FM radio background.
So my question is- A load of both of these speakers were sold over many years so
how did people get around this issue?
I am now leaning toward an Andrew Jones dual concentric bookshelf solution.
Those I have heard in my home and sounded quite acceptable at $600 new.
