Tom,
"So they sound good as long as you don't expect any bass eh? Swell."
No, they sound GREAT as long as you don't expect any bass. And, the same is basically true of each and every eight incher that I place alone in any of my open baffles (some smallish, some quite large). All of these single 8" drivers reach their lowest bass potential in the floor reinforcing position within the JE Lab's baffles. However, don't expect anything beloww around 100 HZ or so. But, my two corner loaded T-line 10 inch subwoofers dialed in just below 100 HZ fill in smoothly with the Lowthers. It sounds fantastic! So open, alive, and spokky organic. However, don't expect much midbass snap. After all it's only an eight inch driver. That is why I followed the lead of several others and tried the renowned 12" Alnico Hemp cone Tone Tubby in the bottom of a taller yet way narrower baffle. I have already discussed crossover points. The Alnico Lowthers and the TT's gel,mesh together seamlessly, so now I have the magic of the Lowther plus pleanty of snap. Hey, nothing is close to perfect in audio reproduction, but, this speaker setup floats my boat like nothing ever has since the mid-1970's.
