I've been to the factory now three times. This latest time was the most impressive. I talk about that in this video: ua-cam.com/video/SJJoBCVqBlE/v-deo.html
If you want near perfect horizontal dispersion look at JBL studio monitors with the famous "Bowtie" waveguide. I believe a specialty set of speakers such as the Wilson's to want a tight sitting area for a perfect sound because they are highly calibrated speakers and moving outside the sound field would yield less than perfect results. You don't pay this much money for less than perfection.
@@dougschneider8243 I'm not sure I follow, each enclosure has at least one pair of parallel sides. You very well know this is a bad thing in your speaker and / or in your room.
@@sbonamo Internal resonances of a speaker cabinet are quite a bit more complex than that. But first, if you want non-parallel walls, I'm looking at a lot of their speakers and the front panels aren't parallel with the back, and the sides aren't parallel in a lot of instances. Look through their lines. Even look at the little TuneTot. But also, internal resonances build up depending on the dimensions of the cabinet and the specific frequencies aligning with that, like in a room -- you get standing waves at specific frequencies. Also, you can't just look at outside the cabinet, but also inside and what's in there to break up potential standing waves.
@@dougschneider8243 Internal speaker resonances in terms of acoustics and physics act identical resonances in your room. A space is a space, whether the internal volume of a speaker cabinet or a room. Secondly, while there may be one non - parallel surface (I've yet to see one) find me one curved surface, inside or out. Thirdly, yes there are braces and material designed to break up resonances - at mid to high frequencies. However, bass frequencies could care less about a little brace, the waves are too long, so bracing is not the answer. See Magico, Estelon and Vivid for examples. Also, I'd love to see your reviews and as always measurements of Wilsons. ;-)
@@dougschneider8243 You were at the factory, you tell me, are there internal bracing and additional material that makes side top to bottom and / or front to back walls nonparallel? I'm betting no. Also, no rigid material, X, Y, Z, whatever, will ever absorb and avoid vibrating especially at higher SPLs in such a small enclosure, it's primarily BS. But, you've visited them and can't speak badly of them, like you used to, right?
Absolutely impressive!
Glad you enjoyed it!

If only they applied all this attention to horizontal dispersion as well...

I do not understand what this has to do with pianos? Are these placed inside fake grand pianos with VST instruments?
Yet they still have parallel walls in all cabinets..
I'm not sure many people would look at those midrange enclosures, for example, and say there are parallel walls.
