When turning a duct vent into a slot you get an aspect ratio higher than 1 (a circular duct). If this gets severe resistance is added to the vent (and the vent usually ends up right at the end of the box), so it becomes at least not quit eteh same. We have almost always done something like this with the Woden designs we have built. We have had good success.

That was waht i was trying to say, in a more round-about way :^)
Everytime you try this you are rolling the dice.
Room & room placement can often play an even greater role.
My favvorite Woden vent is the semi-circle in some of the Festivals (which i borrowed for the facets and implemented in the Hawking Memorial monoliths.

Just so.
As a general note (unrelated to this discussion): I urge in the strongest possible terms to anybody looking at the designs on this thread that they seek alternative offerings by other designers. Please do not build any of these enclosures if you want quality results. To that, I would also add the pensils I've done for MA units & their equivalents for other drivers, the misc. other vented / QW etc. designs I have created over the years, and the majority of the horn enclosures I have been involved with. The exceptions to that are FH3/XL/Lite, which were largely developed by Dave & Chris (I merely did some requested modelling after the fact), and the various Woden enclosures (likewise).

Beautiful wood choice. I just finished a pair up myself using birch plywood. I'll post pics when I get a chance.
