Post Subject: Closer Look (at saving money)Posted by Paul S on: 5/27/2011

Looking at the better photos, with a rear view of the LF speaker, the "felt-covered large port" is actually not the worst possibility (a quasi "IB"), depending on some things we can't see and how well that driver "likes" it. I can also see that what I originally thought might be an anular port around the driver was in fact shadows cast by the very thick baffle. However, the combination of the (small-ish) size of the box and the driver itself appears to be aimed at frequency response and "squashing vibration" rather than "tone".

Wonder how it would stack up to a REL Stadium... not that I want one, but the REL is at least one of the easier LF speakers to "integrate". Money saved, in any case.
