They want use the cheapest things and crossover filter.

>They're extremely simply-designed devices, are they not?
No.
>It should cost no more than pennies to manufacture a speaker with near-perfect sound quality, right?
Haha, hell no.

What's so complex about a speaker?

>>57991384
r n d most likely, plus they arent as cheap to produce and shit as you think.

>>57991397
I don't know, I'm not an engineer. But it's not as simple as "make cone, put magnets, speaker" or everything would sound great.

Mostly you're just retarded for thinking BOM = cost of doing business.

>>57991424
No, I totally get that BOM =/= cost of a product. This isn't about economics. This is about why speakers don't all sound good. How can one speaker assembly sound good and not another?

i bought two 15 inch subwoofers and a 3000 watt amp

i had to wear it in for about 2 weeks to get it sounding the best

The mechanical properties of the materials chosen directly impact the response of the speakers in certain frequency ranges (this is why you'll find things like tweeters made from one material and woofers made from another). If you want it cheap, it's going to be shit, much like anything else.

>>57991492

materials. It's why across manufacturers little changes, only across quality range

I got a pair of KRK Rokit 8 monitors for $400/pair.

They aren't $2000 Martin Logans but they sound great over my USB audio interface and let's face it, I'm not fucking Quincy Jones mixing up a tack for a Grammy nom.
