RE: hi-rez acoustic suspension minimonitors?

I doubt he'd debate that(transient response) with me. It's simple physics and Carl is a way better designer than that. There are all sorts of compromises in woofer design and that's part of the reason reflex is chosen so often but not for best transient response.

Another reason for ported boxes is that the best woofer drivers are designed for ported boxes and not for closed boxes. You would need custom drivers for closed boxes. That's costly unless you're making a lot of speakers or can sell enough to charge enough, for example, Magico, who will not design a ported box.

By the way if the ported box is designed for transient response it can be quite good. The Rockports are excellent. My SEAS Froy 3 is very good. It just can't ultimately be as good at transients as closed boxes.
