Yeah, I agree.... -
That's a slippery question to answer definitively. Especially since data on frequency response and distortion are not necessarily available for store...Leave a comment:

I suspect Troel's new crossover makes a big difference.Leave a comment:

At the time, JBL and Altec were struggling with the trend towards small speakers. This was JBL's (rather humorous) answer: giant bookshelf speakers!...Leave a comment:

What peaks need smoothing, exactly? And what does richness mean to you? I'll repeat what others said, try one of the examples given above, whichever appeals...Leave a comment:

I've seen opinions that rear mounting helps attenuate midrange leakage from the port. That might be true. Bottom firing is a nice option too.Leave a comment:

As a sort of historic note, many vintage speakers used Butterworth alignments, and the driver acoustic outputs were designed to be in phase quadrature...Leave a comment:

That 9dB rise in the bass is baffle step correction, I guess?Leave a comment:

Since any port has resonances, that might not be a desirable thing. Even away from resonance the response is hardly flat....Leave a comment:

Something else I'll point out. Your 60W amp is probably only putting out a few watts average at most when you're listening loud, or else it would be clipping...Leave a comment:

The onset of "chuffing" does depend on frequency. Flaring the port helps immensely, too. A flared port allows considerably higher velocity....Leave a comment:

Wow. The Hsu is underwhelming. They could have at least tried to brace it....Leave a comment:

OK, I'll bite. What advantage is there to transmission line loading a tweeter?Leave a comment:
