Okay, here it is, whatever it is............
The Parts Express $1.25 less 25% 4 1/2" full ranger in an 'oh so chic' mini-tower............I wanted to see how cheap and easy this could be done. Just under $24 worth of #2 common pine 1X6 and 1X8, $1.99 tube of PL 400 urethane construction adhesive, some fiberglass insulation, 16 ga. zipcord inside and $8 binding posts. The binding posts cost 8 times as much as the speaker!!!!!!!!!
I'm loving this.
Put it thru it's paces with my usual Vivaldi, Krall, Ray Brown, Chieftains, etc. Two things stand out: the bass goes really low and matches the 2226 note for note. Maybe I should repeat that, "the bass matches the 2226's note for note." Really! You can't feel it in your chest, the kick drum is just a noise but this is not "one note" bass.
T'other thing is that the speakers do that disappearing thing. None of the instruments are hung on the speakers.
Make no mistake, this is an evil little speaker. It spits and sounds grainy. Diana Krall sounds Bulgarian. LOL! The Altec 806A/ Martinelli Woodhorn gives the illusion of a singer singing in a hall, this little bastard has the performer singing thru a not-so-good microphone.
But, it's obvious that the design, with a high quality driver and the right cabinet tuning could be superb.
