Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers
Sean, your comments remind me the owner's manual of Avalon Radian HC, where I read a lot about sealed vs vented, Q factor and transient's response, muddy bass of vented speakers, superior accuracy of sealed etc etc... Try a search. How Firebat sai...
