Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there?


I understand that wood is cheap and a box is easier to make than a sphere but when the speaker companies charge tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for their speakers, shouldnt consumers expect more than just a typical box? Are consumers being duped?

Back in the 70’s a speaker engineer found that a sphere was best for a speaker. A square box was the worst and a rectangular box was marginally better.

The speaker engineers have surely known about this research so why has it been ignored?

Cabasse is the only company doing spheres. Should wooden boxes be made illegal

The problem with that is every song you play through them will have a wooden tone. The speaker should reproduce a wooden tone if the recording contains that. Otherwise it should not. Its WRONG.

Says you.

They need a better lock for the cell he keeps escaping from. He's so proud of himself...

The answer is simple and has been pointed out to you for quite some time, post after post, thread after thread, month after month: It's the speaker you like listening to. 

Perfection is a chimera, a red herring, a ploy to troll by and which seems to give your life meaning. You need to get a life without sucking it out of others.

But you’ve been warned. By all means tread carefully!

Hey, I found the fabled KSS speaker system!
All you need is a square wooden box.

Andrew Jones has used something that is faceted so he has clearly applied my theories.

Talk about delusions of grandeur. 

 

All I wanna know is if round coffins are going to be a thing and how would the pallbearers carry it? Would they just roll it over to the plot and would they still be made of wood?
