Perhaps the best way to justify a large, room-filling speaker cabinet
would be to design one that really could double, with its driver and
wiring removed, as a coffin.
Think about it. You are going to buy (or have bought for you) one
anyway, but it will be when you are in no position to gain any benefit
from it in this life. If you buy the speaker that doubles as a coffin,
you get the benefits of its materials and labor in its construction by
enjoying it as a music source in life, and when they put you in the
hearse for the last ride, your relatives will at least have the
satisfaction of knowing that you gained pleasure in life from its
music, and in death it's a convenient and socially acceptable planter
for your remains.
Nelson Pass's "J.Low" is one cabinet of such size. However, there is
no need to confine the speacoffin cabs to this general concept-they
could be horns, bass reflex, or sealed designs. Indeed an electrostatic
or Magneplanar typpe panel could even be put in front.
