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?

I think it’s generally agreed in the industry that a box is the worst possible shape for a loudspeaker cabinet.

The main reasons why most are built this way seems to be consumer expectations of domestic acceptability and manufacturing convenience.
yep. We are being duped. Most audiophiles dont want to hear that though. Even ATC use box shapes and yet they are regarded as the finest speakers. It is all a hoax. 


The whole reason for OB, right, boundaries, and boxes are not the first choice, of a seasoned speaker builder.
I’m not a commercial speaker builder, seasoned, oh yea..

I build what I know works, for over 45 years, now. The 120 to 130 pairs, I’ve put out...Not a round one in the bunch. Though I did do an underground concrete vault one time.. that is still working fine.. 1/2 ton

OB Lattice structure, with ribbon and planar drivers are my thing.

NO BOX, NO TUBE, it’s not round, event the driver openings are rectangle, not round...

Time to go feed the chickens.. and George... the goat. and  Junior the rabbit, and  Bubs the dog.
