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

Still waiting Kenjit for proof of what you claim to have said, done or built. Tired of the flapping gums unless you can’t handle the truth.

You really have no standing ...

The only thing you have proved so far is thespeakerdude’s point.

"It is better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

If the shoe fits ....

I'll have you know I am the inventor of the KSS speaker system (Patent pending). Perfect best of both worlds system comprising diffraction less sound field and boxless sound technology. Wood is best for the fireplace not making speakers. If you want to hear your drivers and not your boxes you will need to do something about it Dill, you have been warned.

Surprising his “ID” was not as developed as one might of expected, whereas the “Ken” was quite pronounced.
