What exactly is a speaker box sound?
In another thread the comment was made that all speakers with baffles cause them to have edge diffraction effects which makes it easy to hear the speaker itself, instead of the music.
Maybe I'm spoiled but it's been a very long time since I have heard this effect in real life. What speakers have you heard lately which sound exactly like speakers instead of music?
I suppose you are right, but his point was asking about box speakers. ALL of them distort the source material. How much is up to HIM to hear. Period. By the way, do you find it interesting that most "high-end" makers of box speakers have chosen a "tall" form factor ever since the late 1970's or so? I WONDER where they got THAT idea? I will have to ponder that one for a while, I guess... Cheers! |
I think the tall vs. wide and squat has a lot of benefits. Smaller footprint, better location of the tweeter/mid relative to the ears. The minimum dimension of the panels also must be easier to brace. I have long argued that the 2.5 way speaker could very well be the ideal compromise for most family rooms. |
@richopp I agree with everything you said. |
