Speaker With Least Room Interaction

What speaker has the least problem with the type of room up have in regard to bass boom.  In other words the least bit of room interaction. Rear bass port, front bass port, bottom bass port, sealed.

I tried room treatments and digital EQ (Roon) that helped a lot but nothing helped as much as going to a small floor standing sealed cabinet design.

Kind of what I said. <grin>

Although, technically, I've always wondered about the folded Klipshorn designs.

They function as both bass cabinets and bass traps, so I've always wondered if they would be less room dependent than others.

Your room is your speaker and your speakers are your room. Once you tune your recordings, speakers and your room to your ears problem solved. Removing your speakers interaction with the room is never going to happen as long as the speaker is in the room and why would you want it to. Rooms are wonderful amplifiers once in-tune with the music.

have fun

Sealed and critically damped. Rather a rare beast these days.

Provided you have enough real estate in your room to bring the speakers out away from the front wall by 3 or 4 ft, then the speaker with the least room interaction by far is going to be open baffle, period...nothing else will come close. Bass nodes and nulls will, comparatively, melt away if the bass is OB.
