Hey Scooter,
Thanks for the contribution.
What you say regarding big-big is should be considered, but it depends on what trade-offs you are willing accept when considered in context and detail. Big-big would not offer much if any benefit in my (or anything but a very large) room. As for the 30% in volume 'lost' to the bottom-firing port, in reality it is much less than this and other design factors also need to be considered.
I think your point regarding the volume 'lost' by using a bottom-firing port needs to be considered, but there are some benefits to botton-firing port in an MLTL such as mine. An experienced modeller that I trust ran simulations using my constraints and preferences. The design I decided on was most appropriate for my circumstances and little different to larger versions, which may have provided more tuning flexibility in a significantly larger room; in my room, the differences were marginal if relevant at all.
BTW, I can't link to your system - I am interested in what are you currently implementing / running and how you might help the rest of us. I'd like to be able to learn from your practical experiences next time 'round.
Cheers,
Raymond
