I think we have to subdivide bass into upper bass from 100hz to whatever your midrange does and bass under 100hz and then maybe infrabass. Front loaded upper bass horns are fantastic and I would say if you never heard one, you really nev...

Just a couple of notes here. In my experience downfiring, or upfiring for that matter, woofers is not a good idea, the coil has to lift the full weight of the cone in order to move it and this slows things down, instead of just pushing them back an...

It remains hidden better. Bass only completes the midrange without calling attention to itself. It adds color and overtones better to the midrange, and when it is called for… It appears faster, and more drastically than the other xovers. To be ho...
