what a shame! with 1" sandwiched cabinets, boxy colorations should be virtually nonexistant.
all the best AFFORDABLE speakers aren't made anymore.
i used to lust after the boston acoustics 3 way mini towers with 2 x 8" woofers, a 3 1/2" cone mid and soft dome tweeter (possibly 3/4" or even 1/2") in the mid 80s and they were only something like $500
i'm bummed about the sonance minis not being available. i really wanted to listen to a pair
If it's ported, it's distorted.
