Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there?

@holmz 

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?

I am skeptical… are they better… how would i know?
I am disinclined to take your word for it over hundreds of manufacturers without some evidence that you could be correct.
Your word on it is not proof that your assertion/premise is correct… it’s just, “like your opinion dude.”

The question is, why are there so many boxes out there if they are wrong?

Table saws and panel saws cut do a good job of cutting flat wood panel straight.
Or
they are right and not wrong.

Tell me,what speakers do you have?

You first… where are your links.

Are they perfect? if not why not?

Probably not, but how does one define perfect?
In addition to FR, impluse response and step function response is radiation pattern , compression… and the list goes on…
With… style, looks and size.

One usually has a compromise for all those things, as well as cost.

they are obviously perfect enough as I have had them for a while.

Have you built any speakers?

Yes I have.

Should wooden boxes be made illegal

Yeah - I suppose with the penalty of death?

But only if we then bury the offender in a wooden coffin to drive the point home with some irony.

Great question. I have owned plenty of both and find Open baffle far superior. Why? Well when done correctly the money goes o the speakers and XOS instead of mostly inferior cabinets and OXs

I submitted a bill to make wooden boxes illegal. Of course it will end caskets, picture frames, and cabins. A small price to pay, I say.

From what I understand, the legislation is behind a bill that promotes windshields for dogs butts.
 

There’s a group workin’ round the clock on it.
