To me, getting good sound from 50-250hz with one channel is almost a victory. That is exactly what I am unable to get in my system. So even though the aim is wider bandwidth, if the Jubilee is good for 50-250hz, within the context of high eff horn sy...

These are 103db efficient 15" midbass boxes. It's a band pass horn design with narrow bandwidth of 60-250hz. No port thought, it's a sealed box with two chambers in front of the driver. I do not know how they sound but, myself interested in trying th...

Flip the Vitavox woofers so the magnet is on outside of box and the cone is facing inside. This will increase the overall box volume and maybe reduce the mid/high output. Also voice coil will be closer to time aligned to rest of system......
