I am not at the moment, so I had to listen myself. But I know I will need something to measure higher frequence. I want to see how much the baffle step affects my listening, I have heard alot about that, maybe that frequence sweep I talk about can give me a hint.
There is enough baffle step compensation integrated with the crossover as it is. If you will need more you can up the woofer coil in steps up to 3mH and tune to your room/liking as I had explained in the past posts. In general your subjective chart looks smooth enough in the low bass. Expect some weakness in the upper bass due to floor bounce and type/positioning from base standing regular size two ways.
Ok, that explains why it seems to have no big baffle step effects to my ear, it sounds pretty neutral over all. If I am not wrong you said it did not have a baffle step compensation in the original thread "the secret of building a good 2-way".
Maybe you meant it has not got the common way of dealing with that but like you said, it is integrated in the over all design.

I don't remember, have to look to those posts. Maybe I had wrote that it does not have to have a discrete baffle step shaping portion in the crossover? In most designs the baffle step compensation can be integrated into the main woofer coil if the curves aren't particularly rebellious. In BBC LS3/5A crossover you can see a wide Q trap and shaping part for instance. Due to the 110A woofer having a special hump because of Bextrene quirks. That were changing with raw material batches through time for that matter.
Well, it is not so important but it was nice to hear it has a compensation, makes you sleep better at night 😀. It sounds very good and that is what matters. I will test listening to the port only and hear how much the bass reflex sounds at different frequency, if I remember correctly that 135mm is tuned at around 35Hz?
Hold on, I will get u a link for example....

That's about the color? He, he, a Volvo car, should be expected, a Scandinavian approved color.😀
Its your room colors and taste, but if monochromatic I would prefer something in blue-black, with deep cherry red-black stands.
Yeah one color only for simplicity, and the stands can be as is to start with. They are in chinese oak (wow how exclusive lol). I am quite tired of black and white colors, I need something new, I was even thinking a green color of some kind (!), the original thought was a silvergray color. They really deserve to look good, this is tricky.
P.S. Best preview is to take a picture in room from far enough, room showing as much as possible with both speakers and system in the frame. Then start painting them in a photoshop like app and judge how it strikes you.😉
It just dawned one me.🙂 Post some previews so members can make suggestions. Will be a DIYA Multi-Way forum approved color. Wow!😀
