You are welcome to use tubes on your own boxes, should you wish to do so.
Each and every builder can decide for him/her self when building. I am personally biased positively towards slot ports, and think there are very good reasons to go that way, rather than using tubes.

that's good to know about the port and yeah I guess I ll skip the curve
you are right about the thickness, the only reason I said 25mm is 1.5" (~37mm) is not that easily available but we can always go with gluing 2x 3/4 (2x19mm). can either adjust the depth accordingly or can make the front baffle stepping out about 8mm
thanks.

hmmm, I can make the back panel removable and can add some extra pieces to adjust the port length maybe
, we'll figure it out Paul Vancluysen, Kaffimann

An update of the cabinet Tower XL AE drawing to be conform for the simulation model.
nothing against that I believe, we can still find a tweeter to keep up w the drivers tho
Theoretically a dome tweeter should work but in my experience they fall apart quickly when the going gets tough. Besides a cd sounds more dynamic and effortless imho.
I agree. I've never heard a dome go remotely close to matching a CD at SPL, especially in terms of distortion and especially longevity. Why have a throttle in a highly dynamic system like that. It's like buying a Koenigsegg and attaching a box trailer.Theoretically a dome tweeter should work but in my experience they fall apart quickly when the going gets tough.

Looking at the port it seems the corner/curve at the opening of the port inside the box should be considered as part of the port. I guess the effecive/acoustic length of the port would be more than shown in the drawing.

Stupid question: "CD" = constant directivity?
hmm, I haven't heard a CD that I would quite like, maybe they were bad designs but in my experience they don't sound as detailed as a good tweeter. I m not sure how to word it but to me CDs also sound a bit "bolder" than tweeters but again mybe I haven't heard a good one. In general I m not sure how other feels about CDs. from my understanding a good CD can be pretty expensive.
also a sensitive tweeter shouldn't have any problems keeping up with the SPL.
