In Reply to: I listened to the Krell LAT-1 aluminium speakers in the early 2000'sn posted by JDK on January 15, 2023 at 19:18:24:
They played very loud but I recall the enclosure vibrated more than any speaker I've ever felt. Aluminum is rigid and will raise the basic resonance of a box but when it let's go it really lets go. The Magico speaker has material glued inside, I was told, with a glue that never gets totally hard which is constrained layer damping and kills the aluminum ringing quickly. Magico speakers are quite dead.
