Apologies as I'm damn sure I've read this before but can't for the life of me find the thread discussing it.

Everything I'm reading on enclosures says a perfect cube is the worst possible box shape. Now obviously that's either just wrong or its far more complex than that. Otherwise the Docs cubes wouldn't sound so good to so many.

Anyone remind me why that's the case?

Some food for thought.
1) What are you reading, and where are you reading it?
2) Who's says that what you're reading is true?
3) Have you heard a cube?

This thread has quite a bit of info...

I haven't as yet, but I agree totally, alas the world is full of information, most of it wrong, hence my question

Think! the answer is obvious. The drive unit is a cone

There is so much lack of understanding it is farcical, if it was a planar driver there might be some logic to it, even then it is a load of old bollocks from people making presumptions.

It is in fact the opposite because NVA Cubes are acoustic suspension so work at very low frequencies on an air pressure waves not sound wave, it is that that dictates behaviour, and these eeeeediots don't even understand the process, perhaps they should go and read the original patent papers from Ed Villchur.

All the theory is very interesting, but for most folk speakers are things you use to listen to music, not spend ages cogitating about.

In other words: listen and you may understand why (or you may wonder what's the point?)

true but before building boxes its as well to have some idea what you are doing wouldn't you say?

Yes it is known as music all the rest is bullshit. The experts want to convince you how clever they are - soooo why do they produce such crap most of the time, but a DIY-er like Steve can hit a home run. YET the poor sod still has *experts* trying to advice him - how dare he make something good without them - arses
