Not to leave Bill hanging, Romy, but were you not curious enough to take your original Dannoys home again, to at least determine as a baseline tenet that it is repeatable? If it is, then you can more closely replicate the original cabinet/set-up, and then give that replica a try in the space where the original worked/works, driven by the gear that worked/works with it. This could save you years of flailing around. My experience with direct radiators suggests that box and baffle shapes and sizes matter in terms of sound, and I would be surprised if the tunnels were not audible, whether they are in front of or behind the drivers. Naturally, someone might not care, or they might even like a given signature sound, but at least you could have more practical, working knowledge to start with. Are you sure you want to scrap the whole project because the baffles don't work?
Best regards,
