Are exotic speaker cabinet materials overrated?
Seems a lot of speaker companies are coming out with new non resonant cabinet materials all the time. Wilson especially seems to be inventing a new M X V material every year. Other top speaker companies seem to be staying with MDF even when their speakers match the above mentioned speaker company prices. Do these exotic materials really contribute to a better sound or do they add an unnatural quality to the sound.
Sorry, but that's just not true. The only thing reproducing sound should be the electrical speaker driver and the mechanical port. Other than that,the speaker box is NOT designed to add anything or resonate in any way and should be as acousticalley invisable as possible. I bet those concrete, rounded speakers sound amazing! They also measure really well. |
@foggyus91 I'll drive where I want thank you and I leave the house, have other hobbies, and friends to visit. Your insults say more about you. I don't care who you were referencing anyway and @gdaddy1 quotes the same George Short handbook I did. |
you assumed and @gdaddy1 was arrogant enough to think it was directed at him, for that matter so are you. |
@inna You’re free to view them that way, of course, but a personal framework doesn’t automatically make the conclusion correct or technically accurate. Ultimately, the physics still apply. |
