Auratones are not bad speakers though. They're single driver and non-ported. That has implications, namely better low end response, and uniformity in the waveform: ie. no notching from cutoffs; sound comes from one place instead of two (better spatial representation), and also a lot of consumer audio is on single driver setups (earbuds, laptop speaker, p much anything that doesn't have a dedicated tweeter or subwoofer).
