Speakers for low power amps?

Twl...What is TQWP?

Twl...In the Madisound webpage catalog for Fostex, at the bottom are some enclosure designs, and one in particular looks interesting. "Fostex FE164 Mass Loaded Tapered Quarter Wave Tube" by Martin King. The LF extension suggested by the plot is quite impressive from a wimpy (sorry) FR driver.

These enclosures look very easy to build, but rather ugly IMHO. I have been interested in a flat enclosure configuration that one could hang on the wall like a picture. It seems to me that the Tapered Tube could be coiled for a more compact shape, rather as brass instruments are coiled.

By the way, in a transmission line enclosure, the driver is usually located a short distance down the line, but not near the halfway point as in this example. Where a TL design uses a MTM set of drivers, the two woofers (why don't we say (WTW) are necessarily located at different points. I understand that this makes for smoother response.

Twl...Any thoughts about use of these FR drivers in an "open" design. Since LF is such a big problem, why not just use a separate LF driver in a box that would be smaller than the horn that the FR driver would demand. You could still run the FR driver without any X/O.
