Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there?

"They were small boxes mounted on a pair of stands in what looked like a fairly small room." - I do not have stand mounted speakers.

"If you want perfect sound you must have 20hz to 20khz reproduction." - There is no such thing as "perfect sound", it is subjective.

"You have a lot to learn." - no doubt, however it won’t be from you, I listen to the ones that know what they are talking about.

I listen to the ones that know what they are talking about.

There is no right or wrong though thats the problem you have Dill. You even said so yourself just now. So how the hell would you know who to believe? Is it the proponents of open baffle? Or the ESL? Or the closed box? or the ones that champion reflex, sealed or transmission lines? Is it going to be Harbeth with their resonant cabinets? Or the Magicos with their horrifically dense and solid boxes? Spheres or boxes? constant directivity? or not?

You have opened up a real can of worms havent you Dill, just in time for christmas.

The answer is simple and has been pointed out to you for quite some time, post after post, thread after thread, month after month: It's the speaker you like listening to. 

Perfection is a chimera, a red herring, a ploy to troll by and which seems to give your life meaning. You need to get a life without sucking it out of others.

All the best,

It's the speaker you like listening to. 

A speaker is not an instrument. It is not supposed to sound like anything. So if you have a preference for one speaker over another then one or both of them must be WRONG. 

The goal of this hobby is to find the RIGHT speakers and dismiss the WRONG ones. Anybody that thinks otherwise is WRONG.

Everyone would love to see your system. It seems obvious you won’t list it but the question is why not? We all enjoy looking at other peoples systems that’s part of the fun on this forum.  It doesn’t matter what level it’s at.
