@kenjit As I have posted until people are tired of reading it, speakers in a box--ANY BOX--distort music during playback.
This is why people who love music love Magneplaner speakers. They reproduce what you drive them with. If your gear is substandard, guess what? You hear it.
This is what speakers are SUPPOSED to do.
Look, obviously there are some speakers in boxes that sound OK. I remember fondly the Fulton 100's from the 1970's. They were pretty darn good next to the Maggies of the day, and inventors have improved on EVERY aspect of the speaker business...I wonder where they "all of a sudden" got the idea of making tall speakers? Gee, I have no idea...what a mystery!!
Put some Maggies in your room and see if you like them after a week. If not, get something you LIKE. If so, good for you! You might discover some weak areas in your hardware, etc. that you suddenly notice now that your music is not coming from a box (especially one with a HORN, for goodness sake)!
Cheers!
