In Reply to: What was the great answer on the question: "why nobody makes sealed enclosure speakers anymore....?" posted by Eldragon@gmx.com on August 4, 2012 at 11:21:30:
- For a given woofer, F-3 is a lot lower in a bass-reflex enclosure compared to a closed one.
- But a flat response requires an bass-reflex enclosure A LOT LARGER. In other words, the bass-reflex enclosure with woofer X should be compared to a closed enclosure with the same internal volume, but with woofer Y (with adequate Small-Thiel parameters)
- The Bass-Reflex system has weaknesses - more ringing, steeper slope below F-3 - but also strengths, like smaller displacement of the cone around the tuning frequency.
I couldn't say that one is better than the other.
