....obtaining the same extreme results by the different means, although I do not know yet if it is possible….
T, I do not think that it is possible to get from 9.5" woofer and passive radiator a good sound in context of small monitor. A passive radiator absolutely is the same bass-reflex design with the same problems, probably with minimized port noise. Also, that 9.5" woofer to do well 3000Kx and to do well 40Hz should be very different driver with very different characteristics. Those drivers would require even different enclosure damping methods…. That is way I initially decided do not even ask a monitor to do bass and use it ONLY as MF source. The bass would be provided by a dedicated sealed monitor with the optimized low Fs driver, place in the very same crossover mode as the main MF monitor. So my idea of monitors is basically 4 monitors and I do not think that one monitor is a fruitful direction to got regardless of methods that might be used.
