| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Prove it, Kenjit. I say your a fraud .. You can't expect any more proof from me than from any other speaker engineer. Can Andrew Jones PROVE that his Sourcepoint ten speakers are any better than the rest? Or is it really just another wooden bo... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @dill I think the conclusion is clear now. I am right. Andrew Jones has used multi faceted cabinets and this proves my theory. However a multi faceted cabinet isnt the same as a sphere so it won't be as good. But the point is he did attempt to a... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Why does Andrew jones use multi faceted cabinets if perfect square edges would suffice? Is it not to recognize the great wisdom of Master Kenjit and take a leaf out of his book? Has the great Master Kenjit been vindicated? | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? While we are on the topic, how about all those wooden violins, cellos, bongos , etc out there? Someone needs to do something about that! They have to be wooden in order to produce sound. A concrete violin would make very little noise. A sp... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @o_holter You cannot use Gallo speakers to represent ALL spherical speakers. There are degrees of success with spherical speakers just as with boxes no? Some boxes are better than others and its the same with spheres. Just because we havent seen... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Wood boxes are easy to make. Complex shapes are way more costly and the question is if the complex shape is worth the cost compared to the cost of better drivers and crossovers. Those reasons are all WRONG and do not justify non spherical cabi... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @axo1989 I can see there are speaker companies out there that dont use wood. But the issue here is not just about the material its the shape. Magicos are RECTANGULAR BOXES. Even worse they deceptively try to make their speakers look round by add... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? I thought you previously said that speakers made of concrete must be the best? MDF is the most common material. Some use concrete some use thin plywood. The goal is to make sure the speaker does not sing. You use whatever is most neutral. Do yo... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Kenjit I have to ask. What do you own for speakers? I’m guessing nothing made of wood or with any flat surfaces. Just curious. Thanks I own custom modified hand tuned speakers. Some are wood some are not. What I own does not represent what i ... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @dill yes heres a link | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? To be less flippant, your assertion that a sphere is somehow "perfect" is fundamentally in error. ALL designs, including spheres, are engineering tradeoffs. Its not my assertion olson did the damn research back in the 1950. All shapes were comp... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Cost of machinery and material. That is an excuse. If a speaker costs 100k how can you claim that cost of material or machinery is an issue? How dare you suggest that spending $100k is not enough to enable speakers to be spherical. How much wou... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? No, spheres are not "perfect" and neither are boxes. Open baffle speakers (no box at all) rule for audio quality other than perhaps needing a larger woofer and more power. See previous discussion... This is not a discussion about open baffles ... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @dill Now, you claim to be an expert on speakers right, if so, why so many questions and so few factual answers, just opinions? Answers about what exactly? | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Why are guitars wood? Why are pianos wood? Why are drums wood?.... They're instruments. They're allowed to be wooden. They are required to resonate. |
