>>> If you like acoustic jazz, in a small to medium room, at moderate level, with a SET amp, there is some magic happening. But that's about it.

This is why many fullrange driver fans like larger drivers. 6.5 and 8 inch full rangers handle more power, sound more relaxed, extend deeper into the bass (in many cases) and roll off their high's and are less trebbly. I have heard this driver in other back horns and basically agree with your comments but also point out the magic you refer to... there is a magic with many of these fullrange drivers. There are more modern box designs that probably sound better than the classic one you built. I think that box tries to make more bass than there really is and that's why it sounds the way it does. Enjoy it for what it does well. Once you get used to the sound it makes you may have a difficult time going back to more traditional speakers.
