That isn't a true BLH //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

More of a combination of a unstuffed TL, with the mouth of a folded horn.

Well the real ones DO take alot of space, but the design makes up for it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

$325 for the enclosure?

thats wat i was told, i could try to build my own enclosure 5 times for that price, and I dont even know how. Ill proly just get a prefab subzone.

Someone's getting rich of that price.

Most horn enclosures take no more than two sheets of 4x8 material...unless you go insanely large.

Because you build quality boxes for a reasonable price

You don't have someone build a horn enclosure for you unless they're local...unless you like getting ***** by UPS.

Heh...maybe people finally got smart and realized the racket P4S was running //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You ***, what racket are you talking about. I happen to have a Snailshell with a 9500 in it and it happens to be the single loudest subwoofer I've ever heard. Their work is amazing, so just because you can't build a box like them, don't rag on them or their business.

Ahhh ... but it's nothing special. Someone with a little bit of knowledge could replicate one fairly easily and get similar results - for a lot less money //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You're just mad you got suckered into paying their ridiculous price........

He never said they were bad boxes. He said they weren't worth the price they were charging and weren't anything new or innovative.

I could build a box like them if I had access to my woodshop and a week or two of time; which as a college student living away from home, I lack both. I certainly am familar with the theory behind it. Their work may be good, and their craftsmanship solid, but who are they to say that it's their design? It isn't. Like I said before, folded and back-loaded horn designs have been around for the better part of a century. Nothing new, and nothing that should command such a premium. The only reason why they charge what they did is because suckers that don't know any better will pay for it.

I'm not saying their boxes are sonically bad - I'm saying they're a racket because they try to fleece unknowing consumers into thinking a P4S snail shell is something unique or special. It's not. And if you knew anything about high efficiency loudspeakers and their applications, you'd know that too.
