Buying speakers can be a lot of fun. As you unpack your next piece of audio gear keep good care of the boxes, especially for big towers. Original speaker boxes are the absolute best protection to store, travel, and move your speakers in the future. Nothing’s worse when moving to a new dwelling than having a speaker or two ruined, cut, gouged, or scraped in the process.

Also, if you’re one to upgrade speakers every few years, the original speaker boxes usually make great shipping boxes if you choose to sell your used speakers.

Keep in mind a great set of speakers can last a truly long time… upwards of 20 years or more. Tie that to the general trend that people tend to move every 5-8 years, and those original speaker boxes may come in handy more than once.
