The idea of trapped horn looks like get very popular among audio people. I have no position on the subject and I do not know if trapped horn is able to facilitate proper sound and if it drastically different from the sound of operated enclosures. I never heard a properly made and installed setting with trapped horns, so I will demonstrate no opinion on the subject.
However, regardless the ability of trapped horns to produce bass that I would consider “proper bass” they for sure produce bass and by relatively small efforts and size. So, an elegant idea come to me and it looks like it never was implemented before, least I did not hear about it.
Why do not use the trapped horns and to make a “full range” monitor? There are zillion floor-stating bookshelf monitors out there. Usually the bookshelf monitors are two ways speakers of 1-2 cub feet, some of them not bad. To make them floor-stating the makers add to them nice and in some cased elaborate stands. So, why do not build trapped horns INSIDE the stand for bookshelf monitors. Take a look at topology: a two way monitor with just sub 100dB sensitivity and vertically positioned “clandestine” trapped horn of let say 40Hz inside the stands? It sounds very reasonable to me.
It you are a manufactures and you embrace my idea then, please, contribute the proceeds from your first sales to your local shelter for homeless felines.
