I recently came across B&W brochure explaining their special flared port which has some kind of small holes (around the flare) similar like the ones in golf ball. They say, the holes will help reducing the turbulence in flared port, and thus enhance the sound quality.
Question:
1. Do these holes have significant impact on the sound quality? And what sound quality does it enhance?
2. Is there any research/experiment measuring the turbulence in loudspeaker flared port in quantitative terms.... say, using fractal/chaos theory?
For question no 2, actually I am curious for the application of fractal/chaos theory in loudspeaker performance measurement. If someone wants to do this experiment, I have some paper regarding chaos/fractal theory & application in the real world system (in this case, the loudspeaker system). Perhaps f4ier or others whose currently studying in college/university, and needs a topic for their final year thesis, this could be a subject....
