RE: It was JA, answering his own question after hearing ESP Concert Grands at my place

Posted by tad on August 4, 2012 at 21:48:49:
John,

Thanks for posting JA's sidebar. Very helpful.

I have an older pair of Proacs (Super Tablettes) which have a rear-facing port filled with drinking straws. Designer Stuart Tyler used the same approach on early versions of the Response 1 and 2, but later abandoned it on all of his speakers. What was Tyler trying to accomplish with the straws, and (if you have any idea) why did he change to a more convenetional open port design in later models?

Thanks in advance.
