Romy:
Thank you for the reply. First, a correction: I have a pair of TAD 1201. The MTM idea would utilize other drivers, such as the LE-8, 2118, etc. I'm certainly not against buying another pair of TAD, however.
The 1201 will definetely go lower, such as you suggest. And, active EQ will be a part of this project, along with in room measurement. My friend will do the honors on that. I have not purchased an EQ yet. On your idea of horn loading the TAD: how critical is the shape of the horn? I've seen billions of ideas, but don't know where to start. If we horn loaded the 1201, would we not also need to do the same with the bass driver? Or would your 25-30 (cf?) do the trick? I assume that is ported? Everything considered, if necessary, I would first sacrifice the lowest octave, since I have little music that contains much in that region. However, building a pair of subs in the corners of my room would be very simple, and can easily accomodate even multiple drivers. The mains need to get to 35/40 hz, and do it well.
Do you have any experience with drivers of this type in OB configuration? What is to be expected?
