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!

Being dirt poor they were built to fit the 10" woofers from my old JBL L26 Jubal speakers.

JBL L 65 Jubal’s have a 12’’ woofer not 10’’.

I think PWK’s folded horn was an extension of the principal.

I think it is the opposite, the transmission line is using a quasi folded horn principal with a port. Whereas a true folded horn will exit the air in the woofer chamber out the mouth of the horn (no port). I could be wrong...
