RE: cross between a Dynaco A-25 and a BIC Venturi Formula One?

I was only comparing their construction. The Frieds have a slot/port at the bottom, like the BIC Venturi, but the slot is stuffed/aperiodic, like the A-25, while the BICs are open. From what I read online, the model Q is not an actual transmission line, like other, larger, Fried models.

Since I haven't actually heard mine properly, I can't comment on sound quality. Your high praise makes me more eager to fix them up. When I tested them, one of mine sounded distorted. I thought it might have a blown woofer, although there didn't seem to be any voice coil rub. I swapped it with the woofer from the other cabinet and the distortion stayed with the same cabinet. On inspection, the connections in the crossover seemed a bit corroded so I'll eventually rebuild the crossover and clean up (and solder) all the connections.
