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

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?
@dekay nice parliament. |
I think you've misunderstood the purpose of this thread. I am not here to prove to you that spheres are better. That has already been done by other engineers many years ago. The question is, why are there so many boxes out there if they are wrong? Tell me,what speakers do you have? Are they perfect? if not why not? Have you built any speakers? |
