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.
