| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Yeah - I suppose with the penalty of death? That would be too extreme. The penalty would simply be a ban from the marketplace. So you'd end up with square boxes being sold on the blackmarket and nice and round speakers being sold to the rest of... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Table saws and panel saws cut do a good job of cutting flat wood panel straight. Yes but thats what you do for the customers that want cheap speakers. You cant offer the same old boxes to customers that are paying ten times the price can you? W... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @holmz I think you've misunderstood the purpose of this thread. I am not here to prove to you that spheres are better. That has already been done by other engineers many years ago. The question is, why are there so many boxes out there if they a... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @holmz The internal reflection would be absorbed by the stuffing. Cabasse has done sphere speakers. Rectangles are done because they are cheaper and easier. Would you like me to custom tune your speakers for you as you seem to be unhappy with yo... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? The freedom of choice has caused box speakers to be prevalent. Did you not see what someone wrote? They make 'em, we buy 'em. Ergo they keep makin' em. Either we stop making em or we stop buying em. Otherwise, we are stuck with wooden junk | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Success breeds repitiion and imitation. But what does that show? That audiophiles dont care about sound but care more about how a speaker looks? "Back in the 70s an engineer figured out..." sounds like 1000 other BS stories. And yes, anythi... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? How many times can the same provocative troll question be asked? I would say keep wooden boxes legal, and put kenjit in jail! How can it be a troll question if Cabasse does it? Should cabasse be illegal? is that what you are implying? At least ... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Cabasse also makes square/rectangular speakers. They may also have some patents on them so other companies cannot make similar ones. nonsense. You cant patent a shape. Why hasnt anybody patented the rectangular box? And of course the way they... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @deadhead1000 wheres the round speakers from PS Audio? | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused unless that amplifier is designed to understand the particular speakers impedance loads Can you share with us how an amplifier can be designed to a drivers particular impedance load? Especially one as simple as a woofer which we all know has ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @jtgofish They are pro use disco speakers. Nothing to do with high end audio. You must be joking | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I would use Genelec for a studio, dedicated theater, maybe PC speakers, but not for HiFi 2 channel playback, they are too flat, neutral and boring. They can play loud without distorting, but I like magic when I play music, I want to be in the roo... | |
| Types of Audiophiles Audiophiles are rated according to how fanatical they are and how well they understand PERFECT sound. There are first rate audiophiles and then there are garden variety audiophiles. For a long time I have proposed that in order to differentiate th... | |
| Open Baffle Experience After owning Vandersteen speakers I clearly decided that open baffle speaker isn't in my taste of performance. Unless you are prepared to use a sub.....Open baffle are not a good Idea....I have 2 pair and rarely hook them up anymore. Yes ope... | |
| Open Baffle Experience @audiokinesis Also a benefit of many open-baffle speakers is that the backwave has essentially the same spectral balance as the frontwave, and heavy drapes would selectively attenuate the short wavelengths (high frequencies), degrading the spec... |
