No question about it Jerry,
Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there?
I understand that wood is cheap and a box is easier to make than a sphere but when the speaker companies charge tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for their speakers, shouldnt consumers expect more than just a typical box? Are consumers being duped?
Back in the 70’s a speaker engineer found that a sphere was best for a speaker. A square box was the worst and a rectangular box was marginally better.
The speaker engineers have surely known about this research so why has it been ignored?
Cabasse is the only company doing spheres. Should wooden boxes be made illegal

...late again to the party...*sigh* My diys' are sans wood.....foamed PVC surrounds, no box to speak of....cylinders, yes....with a foamed core. Two pairs hardly have a 'base shaft' cylinder at all....'acoustic suspension', a la the early ARs', rolled off to a sub. Not heavy, either... @dekay, liked the owls....*S* There's about 3 or 4 of them in the area at night 'round here, 'who?ing' about whatever they do it about.... Nice... |
@csmgolf , not likely...but it's like watching a tennis match played with golf balls instead of the fuzzy ones.... ;) Fast. Loose. Not totally predictable, but draws a crowd.... 😏 |
