Transmission line use a long internal pathway. for the bass and are ported as I recall. IMF (Irving M Fried) were doing this back in the late 1980's and their floor standing speaker did indeed have deep, articulate bass. I think the design usually results in a low efficiency speaker. The few times I've owned or heard these types I always liked the bass but often it seemed somewhat disconnected from the mid and highs - almost as if the bass were too goo or too present for the rest of the speaker if that makes sense. Worth exploring though.
Transmission line speakers!
Hi group,
I just pulled the trigger on a mint pair of Falcon speakers. They are a transmission line design. I don’t see many speakers using transmission line. Does anyone here have any experience pro or con with this type of design? BTW, I have always liked sealed type speakers over ported speakers!
Thanks much!
