@nondemo Point proven as far as you being an ASR Minion. No went over there once and enjoyed the banter about cheap audio gear, and how if you spend more than $2k on your system your an idiot. Cheap is cheap and most of it sounds like... would love to see your system please do post images under the Virtual Systems. If it walks like a duck...
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.

@bartsw is conflating sound PROduction with sound REproduction. It’s the same reason why high end home systems don’t use stage monitors or pro sound reinforcement speakers to listen to recorded music. |
@ozzy62 I'm not coming from that perspective. Production as discussed was in relation to instruments producing sound, not studio production. Speakers also produce (recorded) sound if you're blind-tested and didn't know better. This is in addition to the natural sounds they produce.
@nondemo ASR is a bad Utopian novel. |

Speakers don’t produce sound. They are not an instrument. One thing I will agree with you on is that speakers can be designed to be too dead and inert, which sucks the life out of the music. There is a fine balancing act between too lively and too dead when it comes to speaker cabinets. But I don’t want my speakers contributing to the output with a flimsy, hollow enclosure. |
