[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8331860, member: 614752"] So you can't name one premium loudspeaker company that builds a 4th order bandpass, but they're "superior" sound quality. Face it, they're good for extreme burp applications and cool and trendy forum boner, but they're basically a worse sealed box if you're trying to play a wide bandwidth. I think you will find more people that are actually concerned with SQ prefer IB or very large sealed box, and rely on ported largely as a tradeoff to get a bit more low extension out of less box volume. Still though, I'm more than interested to see any actual documentation about these great benefits of bandpass or how it's the "best of both worlds". The "tuning" on a bandpass is where the high frequency attenuates. The port can also produce it's own resonance (like a pipe organ). [/QUOTE]
