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

Kenjit urped: "Why does Andrew jones use multi faceted cabinets if perfect square edges would suffice? Is it not to recognize the great wisdom of Master Kenjit and take a leaf out of his book? Has the great Master Kenjit been vindicated?"

Again, only questions and no substance. Roxy is correct, master of nothing. Actually, just a master-baiter! Rubbing everyone the wrong way ...

I think the conclusion is clear now. I am right. Andrew Jones has used multi faceted cabinets and this proves my theory. However a multi faceted cabinet isnt the same as a sphere so it won't be as good. But the point is he did attempt to apply my technology and that vindicates me since whatever Andrew Jones says or does must be correct since he is a such a distinguished speaker tuner. Long live the Kenjit!

"But the point is he did attempt to apply my technology"

Any real professional in this industry would not be boasting, putting piers down and lauding their accomplishments without a thread of proof. 

Your technology? Prove it, Kenjit. I say your a fraud ..
