Dear all,
My weekend project is final - Wessex MLTL - this pretty much jumped my build queue in the past week or so. Lotus^2 will have to wait for now...
http://homepage.mac.com/tlinespeakers/Woden/downloads/Wessex-MLTL-0v92-151209.pdf
I am opting for the narrow baffle variation mainly due to room width factor. Besides the tall and slim profile should be nice to the eye
. I am planning to do a 45 degree chamfer on the edges of the front baffle to further accentuate the slimness and help the speakers "disappear" better.
I will build this with a removable back so that damping material adjustment is possible later.
I see the plans have are with round ports only... I wonder if slot ports are also possible?
The other thing is that I have searched high and low for a Wessex build thread or review - found none. Is this the first time somebody will do an actual build?
Will keep posting as the build progresses.

Good question. Mostly irritating my wife, I guess....
.After I'm done building, the keepers stay with me. Rest of the cabs I give away or throw away.
Thanks Dave - will put GMs formula to use here. BTW, with slot port, can I expect just a bit more finesse on the low end without loosing grunt?

Port spacer for Wessex slot port
Dave,
I see a "Port spacer" for the optional slot port of the EL166MLTL - for 165mm total available port width, the ports are 54mm each, with a 57mm port spacer between them.
For internal baffle part width of 146mm for Wessex, I have taken a port spacer of 50mm, and the 2 slot ports will be 48mm each. The port spacer will run to the back of the port shelf.
Should work? Or spacer should be narrower/wider?
