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 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. |
Well, we shant have it! Heresy, indeed! Off with their, uh, feet! Like I posted, everyone has their own opinions. Buy what YOU like. Thank-you! Everyone likes to be agreed with. I had the good fortune to LISTEN to many brands of gear played through many brands of speakers when I had my shop. We also had real musical instruments present, and were able to compare them to (processed) recorded sound. I come by my OPINIONS through many hours of listening to many, many "high-end" products in my shop. Whether others find the combo I believe to be most accurate to their liking is why there are about 500 manufacturers of home audio "stuff" around at any given time. Makes it all fun, I guess...
