What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work?


While watching vids on YouTube, I came across this pipe speaker design from a Dr. Linkwitz (see below).   The sound of this speaker is said to be impressive.  I was wondering if you know about this, how it works and what you think of this speaker design.  Also, what do you think would be the best room placement for such a speaker, and would you be tempted to build them?

"We have been sold speakers that DONT WORK."
All of mine work. None ever died, except one tweeter once during the teenagers' party.

"They end up being resold because they are not good enough."
They may be resold, but the reason may not be that. People simply want to try different things from time to time. Not everyone wears same pants until they fall apart. People change them. Varietas delectat.
bob540,

I agree with all three of your points.

My point was that most of the people do not have skills, time, energy, space, or even interest to do it themselves. They simply buy the best they can at that moment. They are often perfectly satisfied with their purchase and use it for years. It may not be as good as if they have done it themselves, although that is also a big gamble, but they can use them moments after they bring them home.

Just that feeling of "Made by Me" is worth it, but it may not be an option for most.
I missed this scientific philosophy duel in real time. I had to read reruns.

Is it too hard to understand that people buy speakers, the best ones they can, because they do not feel like building their own?

By the way, if google is not lying, there is no speaker company named Narcissus. Do I see a wonderful opportunity to name world's best concrete speakers? Flagship made of concrete Narcissus Herniakos. Followed by a standmount Narcissus  Acropolis. Desktop model Narcissus Komputerikos, Portable Bluetooth model Narcissus Fakeius, and cost-no-object Narcissus Kenjitos.
"This is a speaker forum..."
It is not a "speaker industry conspiracy" forum, I hope. Which is all you try to do with it.

Surprise, I am very satisfied with my speakers. They cost more than a bag of rice and profit margin must have been substantial. I do not even feel ripped off. They are "boxes" and have no concrete in them as far as I know. They even fit in my room. I'd prefer different color, though.

If you would be so kind to raise awareness of shady speaker industry practices in areas that matter. March against poor choice of colored finishes. It is much bigger problem than whatever you have been pounding on so far. The way they look actually matters.
kenjit,

I did not think you were truly asking.

After rereading your post and questions, the answers would be...

I doubt there is an illness that corresponds to that so you may never find the name.

However, if discrediting everything ever becomes a recognized illness, kenjititis may be the name.

kenjit,

Behavior is not only movements that, without much doubt, cannot be discerned here. Your words also account for something.

Some of your statements may be technically correct. In theory at least. The rest is painfully dull.
kenjit,

You might have not asked for an evaluation, but your behavior begs for it.
