Box Speakers - are they really so bad?

[Ashley James]

Nick I'm agreeing and pointing out that you and other musicians build the amplification and speakers to get the sound that you want, whereas, we as hi fi manufacturers are trying to create a replay system that doesn't alter things further. If we bugger up the Bass then you won't hear "your" sound, you'll be hearing our mistakes. Hence our argument for accurate sound reproduction from hi fi or studio monitors.

Not at all! It's bloody difficult when you can't see people!
