interesting new direction, or snake oil...

Don't know if this has been posted, but check out the pure malt speaker from Pioneer. It sounds like an interesting idea to me purely for the novelty, but also seems like a bad idea as I thought the push in speaker design was for inert cabinets.

Looks like clever marketing to me. I wonder if old flower pots might work??!!!
I agree with you that the goal in making speakers cabinets is to make a cabinet that contributes nothing to the sound you are hearing through its own resonances.

Could this be why Pioneer speakers usually appeal to the guys at audiokarma who are hung up on 70's and 80's Japanese gear? Sonus Faber makes speakers that use the cabinet resonances to "improve?" the sound. I'm in the camp that wants cabinets to be as inert as possible.

You might have to lick the inside though

I wonder if they smell?

Who cares how they sound. Speakers made from old whisky barrels has to be one of the most manly things ever.

I think they'd work great in my Whisker & Cigar Bar.

Yes, unless its Jack Daniels Piskey. I don't want piskey barrel speakers.
