Anyone still remembers the Philips 9710M?

The title probably gives something away about my age.

Always been an enthusiast of the Philips full range drivers, despite their shortcomings.

After years listening to a small transmission line box (design P.Atkinson 1978!! see enclosed PDF) I found its time for a new adventure with a modern full-range system.

Have been reading a lot about the Frugal horn (lite), but not sure if the size would fit my situation.

Looking for small, but with good bass... aren't we all 😉

The Philips is a great one, i have also a pair, they live now in a not fitting cabinet but i'm surely will do something with them.

But for a small cabinet they are not fit, better use modern style drivers that are fit. And there are many designs that can bring them to the lower 40's in a compact bookshelf of standmount design. But for real deep bass you will need a subwoofer or a waw design that is big.
 
@waxx I had them in one of their standard designs. A box of about 1m high 30 x 30cm footprint. I made sand filled panels for it. And everyone was amazed about their sound (and their efficiency!) A piezo wide angle horn on top for the real high end >10kHz
