In Reply to: A couple of questions.... posted by Adnan on September 23, 2001 at 18:45:25:
I wish it were as simple as minimizing baffle size. But, there is another factor that figures in, and that is the response step where the speaker goes from essentially hemispherical radiation (at short wavelengths) to essentially spherical radiation (at long wavelengths). There will be a 6 dB step-down in on-axis response, and the designer has probably taken this into account.If you really want to go all out in building new boxes, I'd suggest you keep the front baffle pretty much the same size but add large bevels around the edges, and round off the sharp corners. If it was me I'd probably build tall, narrow transmission line boxes with bevels on top and on the sides at least up near the drivers. Transmission lines have the cleanest midrange due to their relative lack of internal reflections back into the cone.
Best of luck!
