Because the boxes are less expensive to build, more of the cost is spent on the insides, which to me are much more important to the endpoint—the sound. So in my experience, at a similar price point, the boxes often sound better. I agree with an earlier poster that ATC is a prime example of this.
Rectangular versus fancy design speakers?
Many of us grew up with basic rectangular speakers which seemed to work fine. And as I look around the landscape I see lots of higher quality rectangular speakers that look very nice.
I like the pretty speakers with their stylistic designs.
Right angles are a bad thing with curvy surfaces being better for sound, so they say.
Does it really matter and I would think a rectangular speaker which probably has more of a budget to spend on the quality of what goes on inside versus spending so much money on the looks may be better.
Any higher-end rectangular speakers worthy of a recommendation?
