I had never seen this site before today, but I was shopping around for toroidal transformer covers and I came across iwistao.com
They seem to have a lot of cool and inexpensive audio gear.
These speaker cabinets caught my eye. Less than $70, and they seem like they'd be great for a full range or coaxial driver as part of a smaller desktop or nearfield setup.
What do you guys think about these?

About all I can realistically say is that it will be tuned very low for a driver of that size given the length of the pipe & what appears to be quite a high aspect ratio, increasing frictional losses further. Which will help in the sense of stopping it unloading until presented with a relatively low frequency signal, but it will have very little useful output. Alignment will be a crapshoot sans dimensions & establishing what it's optimal for -if anything, but I suspect that isn't the point. It looks nicely made & isn't expensive, so if that sounds like it will suit, fair enough.
Looks like a speaker designed to look impressive, but very unlikely to work well. I guess it could be called a Daline, or it could be a BR tuned excessively low with a vent with significant R so will actually be heavilty pushed towards aperiodic. Much as the Labyrinth designation would indicate.
If the driver is highish Q it might work.
Also fiberboard as material and the huge waste of material with the translam parts.
My suggestion woul dbe to turn and run away. Too much money to spend on poor firewood.

lol,they don't list shipping charge. On aliex, the same kind of $70 boxes cost $250-300 each to ship to US.
