I like what OBs do, Ali, but I love my 'box' speakers too (though it's a bit insulting to call the beautifully shaped Ushers boxes). One thing big ported speakers do better is very deep bass.Originally Posted by Ali Tait

Yes, it's subjectively deeper, but there is a large distortion component in there. I'll trade a little depth for better accuracy. I understand why people like the bass from big box speakers though.

Martin controls that very well but uses room treatment to help. One of the most non boxed sounds I heard
