Stainless stell stoves are cool, but not high-end


Has anyone had any success putting a pair of speakers inside an entertainment cabinet?

I assume...putting the speaker into a cubie hole will degrade the sound, therefore, why even spend money on anything better than a midfi speaker. Inside the cabinet, you will lose any imaging, soundstage, and will get some strange frequency interactions.

I am trying to convince my non-audio friend, who is designing a HT, not too. He ask for help, saying he wants great sounds, however he wants to put them into the cabinet for looks. He has a pair of Bose 201. I am thinking about advising...he might as well keep the 201 and put them into the cabinet...add a decent sub.. and call it a day - because, any money spent on nicer speakers will be lost inside the cubie hole that is being designed to hold the speakers.

What do you all think.

Cheers,
Rich
(why can't everyone recognize the value of good sound?!...people put big $$$ into GE monogram kitchen appliances, European washers and dryers...etc....but, the same passion is not given to their hi-fi rigs.)
