Thanks, didn't know there were ball bearings inside speakers. Learnt something new today, thanks to the marketing experts at Wilson Audio. My life is forever changed
When I did my Tunetot Review (and I liked those speakers although to me personally not value) I struggled with how the base of the tunetots costs thousands and the material make up of these materials is unknown.
Don’t get the haters that say it’s snake oil. He is not claiming they invented those materials or that they do something miraculous. He’s just put a marketing name to different resins.
I can’t judge but I think it is a choice: damping or sympathetic resonance materials like certain woods. Hard stone, glass etc. harden the sound and are therefore best to avoid.
Material matters, but which is best? Depends on how you handle it, and I would select aluminium since the self resonance is much higher in frequency and easier to tame with proper dampening. Then you would have something that is really stiff with the dampening properties of the V material. Dampening lower frequency resonance and harmonics is much harder and need a lot of dampening material. All of these materials can be used, but you need to know what you are doing regarding shape, thickness, resonances etc. etc. The important thing is that the driver fitted in the cabinet have low amplitude where the cabinet have it's self resonance point and the harmonics created by the cabinet. It's not that hard once you get a understanding about colouration and how to prevent it from happening. The challange is to do it cheaply. That's hard and needs a lot of experience, testing and logic skill. Wilson have done their homework and make cabinets with extremely low colouration. This video are more of a provocative statement against loudspeaker producers using aluminium for their cabinets... They see the competitors and try to make them look bad using aluminium in their cabinets.
Every Material has its resonance. But its a matter of thickness, how you damp it and of course how you filter certain frequencys out after it via electronic parts. That test what he shows makes absolutely no sense at all. Specially because thats not how sound waves work. Its always a glued / mounted together structure incl internal bracing and not a single 30x30cm sheet. Well est. brands like ATC working also with Wood and its one of the best sounding Speakers and Studiostandard…
I'd rather have Q acoustics cabinet gel technology for a 20th the price.🤔🤯😳 Ultimately, Granite for the win but it's just as expensive if not even more.🤔🤫😬 Soundwaves don't create that kind of noise. Last time I checked as others have said here , I do not have any ball bearings in my speakers?🤔🙄 Great speakers either way but because of their price points they should sound fantastic.
Haters everywhere. No matter what one does you'll find them. What are they doing watching videos that will end criticize without mercy? Big mystery or not quite, human behavior 🤔
Wow. Theres alot of haters. I dont understand where this is coming from. I think we should appreciate their application to speaker in general. Its not common for companies to do this.
This is a real snake oil. Did you finish primary school or what!!??...PLEASE SHOW US PROPER MEASURMENTS WITH PROPER EQUIPMENT made by some independant, credible professional or institution. If you do not know how it shoold look a like, just for a start, I can send you a link. Is there a finger in a speaker's box or diver's pressure??
@@xfloodcasual8124 This subject is about the assertion. The whole approach is primitive and the tie does not help. And each material has its resonance-s - how good or bad are they, depends on implementation of material.

What about panzerholz plywood
Excellent quality

Very informative Daryl 👏
Thanks for posting this great content !!! 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it

Tak3s me back to materials science engineering classes :)
super cool!

Best is slate
That's why Wilson needs to start making their speakers out of GRANITE
Or slate
They won't bc it's harder to market "granite" but if you use a coating on whatever then you can call it whatever.
Just make cabinets out of bags with sand. Or activated carbon powder. 100.0000% guaranteed to absorb all sound waves!!!!

Not common? Literally every high end speaker brand have their own form of highly-damped cabinet, but Wilson goes further with its marketing bs
Exacttly. Wilson is overpriced BS@@A-gks
Smart engineering and easy to demonstrate. New material?! Matters not.
Smart ripoff company
anf because of that its lets say 400..000 dollars :-)
Not very impressed, yet great loudspeakers
Overpriced, not great. Out of control bass. They don't know how to voice a speaker
@@TascamTascam is it not a bit extreme to say so? What is your cup of tea? Magico? Anything else?
What snack oil. Damping material used in other industry, this is not new stuff LOL

Absolutely agree
why don't concert violinists ask for measurements before they buy a violin from a luthier?
