[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8770652, member: 683408"] A quote from that writeup supports what I said in my post. I included it for you. If you think what you shared includes false information, it is odd that you shared it. Nothing in there says an incorrectly sized box will perform better. Nothing in there says a ported box is more accurate than sealed. Nothing in there says it is easier for a novice to get good performance from a tuned ported box than a sealed one. I’m still genuinely interested in your speaker patents, assuming you are Thilo. If not, I will send him an email directly. In the meantime, Eminince says this: A sealed cabinet is considered a punchier, more accurate sound. Sealed cabinets are much easier to design and build than ported enclosures and are typically smaller in size. There is also much more room for error in design and construction because a small change to the internal volume doesn’t affect the lowest audible frequency significantly There are some disadvantages to ported enclosures. Transient response is poor compared to a sealed enclosure. The result is decreased accuracy. MTX says this: Sealed enclosures reproduce the low frequencies more accurately than ported enclosures because the air inside the box acts like a shock absorber, allowing the subwoofer to move back and forth in more control. The sound waves are reproduced more accurately than with a ported enclosure but the subwoofers may require slightly more power TruAudio says this: Sealed enclosures are typically smaller and easier to build because there is no port to tune and the choice in woofer box really does matter to the sound. They also reproduce the low frequencies more accurately than ported enclosures do because the air inside of the box acts as a shock absorber, allowing the subwoofer to move back and forth with more control. SVS says this: Sealed cabinet subwoofers are generally more accurate in frequency response and better at rendering instrumentals in a convincing way. These characteristics make the sealed subwoofer a natural choice for critical music applications and are typically described by enthusiasts as sounding tighter and more articulate or musical, with less perceived overhang. But maybe Peerless has an entirely different take on the subject... [/QUOTE]
