Odd shaped speakers

How can a speaker shaped like a ham be taken seriously? How about one that looks like a giant version of the horn usually associated with Nipper? Or the ones with so many modules and a rack type thing you wonder how the sound can be integrated when the sources it comes from are so disparate? Am I the only one who is satisfied with boxes properly finished or what?

Some speakers are designed / shaped a specific way for technical reasons. Many times, this type of product can be done so that they don't stand out from the crowd or at least do it in a manner that is not "over the top". Then there are the other times it is for sheer attention getting and cosmetics i.e. "art for arts' sake".

Clueless: As to being shaped like a ham, that really doesn't matter. We've read your posts and already KNEW you were a ham. As such, being shaped like one only seems to go with the territory. I wouldn't worry about it though, as it looks quite natural and you carry it well : ) Sean

Has anyone else read the latest article in Audio Xpress about cabinet vibration due to driver excitation ? VERY interesting article to say the least. You do have to read between the lines, but it does "debunk" a lot of what "tweakers" have always thought was "good" when building DIY speakers. Sean
