For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and loudspeakers are no exception. The loudspeaker cabinet is a necessary evil. One which allows the forward sound wave to be transmitted whilst trapping the rearward sound-wave inside the cabinet – the aim being to damp and absorb the rear firing wave. Absorbing the sound-waves and controlling the cabinet resonances caused as a result is problematic and has for many years kept acousticians fully employed.

The problem with personal music systems like the iPod® or the Walkman® is that you have to wear headphones. And the trouble with headphones is that they are not really stereo – just two separate mono signals clamped to your ears.
Listening to stereo means hearing the sound from both speakers with both ears – that’s what gives you the stereo soundfield in between the speakers. With headphones you can only hear the left speaker in the left ear and the right speaker in the right: most people therefore hear the sound in the middle or back of their head, as opposed to in front and around you.
