Passive or Active Cabinets

These look pretty cool. Currently only for 21" drivers but a possibility of 18". Designed by Mark Seaton including a custom dsp, loaded into a inuke3000.

I find the cabinet somehow expensive. That's a simple ducted box, not a transmission line or a complex horn like the Klipsch.

My initial impression also, even considering that it's assembled and possibly finished and freight included....wonder how much a flatpack would be instead. Still, you could build your own for the driver....but as a simple turnkey kinda setup it has its attraction I suppose.

For the price and 150# cabinet well constructed, including DSP file from Mark, its seems decent for those that cant build but want semi dyi. With the 21" drivers, as you can see from Josh's review, the final product is a beast of a sub system.

I like the idea of passive cabs because you are not limited to placing the near a power source. (i.e. the length of the power cable.)

Might be a moot discussion as I just tried the website and I cant get through.

UPDATE: WW Speaker Cabinets has decided to re-focus on other areas of their business and keep the speaker cabinet sales to OEM rather than DIY sales. After building up and testing a pair of X21's with the B&C 21DS115-4 driver for a customer I have decided to make a few refinements and offer this as a complete product for sale on our website.
