Those B&W snails have a unique look, but I bet they don't sound much better than a good set of Altecs. and the price is... yeah

I forgot, I did build a speaker system, but I was so stoned that I forgot all about it.

The do-evils have some resemblance but to me are quite a bit different...

Do you know if they have a downward firing woofer? Or is that a reflex port?

**Panomaniac** · August 19th, 2011, 06:30 PM

I'm pretty sure that's a port at the bottom. The woofer fires up into the round waveguide thingy. If I find out different, I'll let you know.
Someone once wanted me to design a similar speaker, so I was doing research on the omnis.
