...no sarcasm was meant, nothing to "read between the lines."
Several people seemed quite impressed w/ 138s in DIYaudio thread early on, said no tweeter ever needed, best mids they ever heard in anything, etc. That was part of what prompted me to try them instead of 120s...
I'm now guessing those people have very different taste, have yet to hear decent horns, (e.g. planet 10 crew call blhs "horns"), or just can't hear the difference. Many of them rant about FE127s as if they were as good as it gets, so I've learned to take it w/ a grain of salt...
And "good luck" with your 138s and D5nfs.
I personally wouldn't recommend BVRs for either though, having heard them both in those cabinets.
They can sound a lot better.
The Fostex recommended boxes being only basic ported -- I'm guessing you're refering to 120s?
138s have two recommended boxes, the "swan" design and a resonate pipe I'll probably try next.
Will be very narrow, can fit in around horns, like mini me designs.
I heard one @ RMAF w/ feastrex 5", was nice if kept in volume/dynamic/complexity bounds.
