Alpair 10p baffle step

Hi, felt my last build attempt with these drivers didn't have enough baffle step compensation, upper mids were a bit too prominent. Without resorting to filter, what baffle width or enclosure type wd boost the lower mids and bass? TL?
 
Baffle width would be your best bet if for no other reason than that enclosure resonances may not occupy the same band of frequencies you need boosted. It's also a better option since it reduces the uncertainty of room interaction felt below the baffle step.

A wide baffle loudspeaker closer to a wall behind will have the wall seem to be abaffle extention.

Taken to extremes things like the angled vaersions of The Woden Hardwood series which are tuned to be paced against a wall.

This is mine (MAOP 7 pending). Not my room.

The Frugel-Horns have certainly proven very versatile, and quite good.

I still remeber the look on Mark Fenlon's face when he first heard the bass passages come thru FHXL with A10PeN at Chris’ place. He didn’t believe what he heard so he asked us to play it again.

Yeah, if you can afford the floorspace, and don’t find the FXHL a daunting build, they definitely be on my short list, along with the Pensils, or perhaps whatever new fresh wonders can be found in Dr Scott’s collection of soggy cocktail napkin sketches.
