You raise some thought-provoking points there, Blinx7 - thank you. But by and large, I think they apply more to the paper-coned drive units, designed for maximum efficiency for use with low-powered amplifiers. The polypropylene-coned DC-3139's that I have are different. In the D900 cabinets, there is only 15mm from the edge of the speaker to the edge of the baffle and I suspect that is about as close as you can go while still maintaining structural rigidity.
The D900 is a great-sounding speaker and the harder you push it, the better it copes. By contrast, the "old school" HPD315's that I had in Tannoy-designed big-baffle boxes could not cope with high-power material, making them less suitable all-rounders - particularly when home-theatre enters the mix.
That is why I am searching hard for a D900-style cabinet.
