What was the design philosophy behind this speaker

[gustav_errata]

Surely he could have fit some larger cones...?

This is genuine curiosity.

Well, it's free anyway.

 

[narabdela]

The nose is missing.

 

[mansr]

Stick on a grille and pretend it's full-range.

 

[garyi]

It looks mildly alarmed.

I've always thought most modern speakers try to squeeze too large a driver in the cabinet, but this is pushing that view to the limit.

 

[gustav_errata]

I keep going back to this. What the hell is the point? Why did he build only one? Why would you want to use only one? What is inside the case, just empty space?

And yes:

Reminds me of this!

Not exactly the same, but when I was ( very ) young I fitted a drive unit into a large box.
The innovative side of this was the drive unit ‘fired’ into the box.
I sat inside and listened to the Beach Boys’ song ‘Good Vibrations.’
Thank you for staying with me this far...

Reminds me of this!

Somehow that reminds me of the Dartzeel amp with the "Left Eye", "Right Eye", and "Power Nose":

 

[Martyn Miles]

I used to think the designer of DartZeel amps. was autistic.
Now I’m certain of it.

"Sadly I don't have the space to keep it any more"

 

[gustav_errata]

"Sadly I don't have the space to keep it any more"

In other words, "my partner threatened to leave me if this isn't out of the house by the new year."

That!

...and the fact that most of his "space" seems to be currently occupied by a giant speaker cabinet.

It has potential, though - Could make a very nice garden shed (with built in audio)

Interesting idea, what does music sound like if you're inside the speaker..
