[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 1137012, member: 555251"] 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. [/QUOTE]
