New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

What now?
@twilightround you are special :) you can try Crutchfield and Amazon 60 days no cost about 8 great brands combined. I would say your room is OK but your listening position is definitely a little unusual. Because of your space, culturally, I wou...

Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there?
There is no material that miraculously converts sound energy into heat I am pretty sure women can do that   (btw you mean waves?)

@cleeds  What makes you think that? overanalyzing everything.

we are wired to appreciate sound based on our memories of the sound we grew up on. It may be what resembles it, perfects it or what the total opposite is but in either case, it's still our baseline. Most of the characteristics is in our head: wha... 
Passive speakers for desktop
