You need to learn how to properly dampen, then, so that you can have
good bass response in a larger cabinet.


Joe, your head is full of feces. You seem to have no understanding of
speaker design whatsoever.


So Tannoy and Paradigm and a slew of others can make a decent
tower speaker and you cannot?



Cheesy build quality might be acceptable to you, but it isn't to me.



Look at the Saturn 6 LR bookshelf speakers. Nice, decent designs.
They took the same drivers and $50 more in materials(since the MSRP
is only $300 more) and the low-end dropped to 31hz.


Joe, you're thinking is completely wrong. If you want stuff that is
obviously built to a price point, just so you can own it and think "Oh,
I'll buy something better when I can afford it," then bully for you.
But you are a liar, because you can't even make this first step. As
near as I can tell, you can't really do anything. If you want a DIY
speaker, build one. If you wan't one full of compromises from a large
company like Tannoy, then buy it. Do something for Christ's sake and
quite whining.


That's almost a full octave lower than the bookshelf design,
and close enough to full-range to not matter(since the last 4 keys or
so on a keyboard are rarely played).

They did it - yet you say it is "impossible" and would sound terrible?



With a Silver Flute woofer? It is impossible. Are you looking for
incredible tonal accuracy or just bass extension? I can't even believe
you are trying to describe a speaker's sound quality by its frequency
response. That's just stupid.




$1500 MSRP. $1250-1350 or so street price.

...

Honestly, if you could make a tower out of the design and add some
features like maybe an area at the bottom to put sand/wieght or
a second woofer or something...

Most people won't pay over $1000 in any case for a bookshelf speaker,
but will buy a small tower as they get full-range in a small package.



Right, "Joe Oberlander" would get my vote for speaking for "most people".
