Were passive radiators an ultimate failure? Does any speaker company still use them? A friend of mine is asking about them in regard to vintage speakers, and all I remember is being unimpressed. But I don't want to tell him that without some back-up.
Passive radiators were and are not a failure. Still used because they offer numerous sonic advantages over ported designs. Their downside vs. ported includes larger cabinet, increased parts costs and harder to properly design.
