Hi,
Despite being obsessed with speakers for most of my life I'm suprised how little I know,
I just need to seek some answers so I can decide where my projects are going....
After making and listening extensively to
View attachment 196343
I then switched back to my TDL RTL3s
View attachment 196342
As that was what I was used to. However I noticed a few things
They provided a big, full but fuzzy sound, mainly
1: It sounded like there were phase issues with the RTL3s (the wiring was fine)
and
2: there was considerable less punch on kick drums..... 🙁
I've since gone back to a single tiny TL which is clamped together and unveneered!
What I would like to ask is...
1: is the phasing issue to do with the RTL3s having a crossover and the TL having none? And if it is a crossover thing, is it reducable at all? Or is that why people opt for full range/active crossovers
2: is the lack of punch due to the transient response of a bass reflex cabinet vs a TL cabinet?
I apprecieate my TL needs a lot more tweaking yet (I have a few more designs on the way) but I'm suprised at how much more listenable it is
Cheers for your time 🙂

Since no one else has responded....
1) probably
2) maybe
It looks to me like you have some fun time ahead playing
with this until you see what makes a difference.
