Iirc, the hole does 2 things. The first is it acts like a sound hole in a guitar or violin and alters the tonal qualities of the speaker (the enclosure acts like a resonate chamber.)
Also, iirc, drivers have to work harder to move the membrane of the enclosure is totally sealed, since it’d have to compress the air inside/behind the membrane.
Of course, cheap speakers probably did it because they saw JBL and others do it on the expensive studio monitors.
As for spiders…. I think they’re cool, but only if they stay over …. There…. Jumping spiders can even be cute. But at a distance.
Same goes for the centipede with the creepy legs. I respect that they eat things I’m happy not deal with… just don’t come over here.
This would be the latter. Interesting explanation, thanks.
Modern studio monitors don’t usually have those in my experience, but I got those years ago in a trade and they really capture a flat monitor sound in a way that modern monitors don’t. I’m sure in part because they’re massive. Anyway, they were perfect for my audio work at the time.
