The freedom of choice has caused box speakers to be prevalent. Did you not see what someone wrote?
They make 'em, we buy 'em. Ergo they keep makin' em.
Either we stop making em or we stop buying em. Otherwise, we are stuck with wooden junk
Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there?
I understand that wood is cheap and a box is easier to make than a sphere but when the speaker companies charge tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for their speakers, shouldnt consumers expect more than just a typical box? Are consumers being duped?
Back in the 70’s a speaker engineer found that a sphere was best for a speaker. A square box was the worst and a rectangular box was marginally better.
The speaker engineers have surely known about this research so why has it been ignored?
Cabasse is the only company doing spheres. Should wooden boxes be made illegal

Can you please point us to this research?
I would think that a square box is closer to sphere than a rectangular box is?? Is having all the internal reflections arriving back at the same time a good thing? Or would an amoeba shaped be better than a sphere to spread the reflected sound out temporally?

The internal reflection would be absorbed by the stuffing. Cabasse has done sphere speakers. Rectangles are done because they are cheaper and easier. Would you like me to custom tune your speakers for you as you seem to be unhappy with your speakers. Are they square? Are they tuned to your ears? Are they in TIME?

What did I say to lead you to believe that I am not happy with my speakers? And yes; my current speaker are in time (as well as phase). Thirdly; the stuffing will not absorb much in terms of low frequency, how thick is this stuffing. I was only guessing at the internal reflections as being “the thing.”
Back to the question… who did the research that you alluded to?
