The JC 1+ is specified as being able to deliver 450W into 8 ohms (26... | |
| Ported versus sealed speakers: is one type better? Nevile Thiel (rip) once said to me. You get an extra octave of low frequency with ported designs, but it’s at the expense of a little coloration, port noise, and I believe also bass tightness and speed, compared to very good infinite baffle design... | |
