Actually a Tapped Horn would be bigger than a sealed enclosure, here is one of my first TH tests. The sound is very different than the sound coming form a Sealed encolsure. My first impression was that the bass was gone! There was no bass sensation in the room anymore, no chest thumping, lets say (which is a wrong term). After a while you realize that the bass is there and all the frequencies played by the instruments are present, it sounds like a bass is playing in the room, but we have grown accostumed to hearing sealed and ported enclosure bass, and IME this bass generates a sort of accompanying bass sound that is not generated by any instrument, a sort of fat bass sound that can be very rewarding. Lets just say that TH bass is much cleaner and generates a different "bass sensation" in the room. Once you get used to it, it is very difficult to go back to boxed bass.
I find the sound similar to what a Mid bass horn woud play.
Romy what differences in sound did you find when you changed from your Scanspeak Bass array to the big MB horns?
