Listen "All about box speakers"
Episode Synopsis
Not all loudspeakers are created equal—and box speakers prove it. In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, the spotlight turns to the classic enclosure design that dominates the high-end landscape. Explore how cabinet shape, internal damping, driver alignment, and crossover tuning work together—or against each other—to deliver musical truth. When done right, a well-designed box speaker disappears, leaving only the performance suspended in space.The Audiophile’s Guide publishes daily. Want to learn more or join the HiFi Family?
