I've alway been interested in the DCR concept since seeing it in the David Weems book I bought at Radio Shack back in the early 80s. After building a couple pairs of speakers back then, I went off to college & no longer had access to proper wood working tools and it's only now that I have the chance to build another set of speakers.
But while a DCR seems to have sonic advantages over conventional bass reflex designs, particularly increased efficiency, I don't think I've seen a commercial version of it for sale, and have seen very few DIYers utilize it on the DIY sites I visit.
Is there some dark secret
about this design that causes so many speaker builders to shy away from it?
