Muralman: Dipoles dont "color" the sound as much? You got some scientific evidence to back this up? Ive never heard this claim before. Dipoles have alot of drawbacks that easyily "color" the sound in their own way. Absolutely rediculous this claim.
Violins and pianos and all other instruments are designed to use the physical body to "color" and "tone" the sound yes. But speaker boxes are disgned in just the OPPOSITE way to be inert and to NOT RESONATE. Put your hand on a violin when it plays and you can feel the vibrations very distinctly,just like with a piano, it was designed that way. Put your hand on a competently designed speaker(Like my set of Revels)and you dont feel any resonation. Exactly the opposite in nature.
