Audio seems to be a series of compromises. With folded W bass bins you get tight and low distortion bass, but it doesn't go very deep, but that can be easily solved by adding a subwoofer. However, a 15" direct radiator in a ported box can never be made to be as low distortion and as tight sounding as horn bass. You get to choose.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
