BIG speakers that move a lot of air, work better for me in a ported ROOM...Large Baffle speakers that DON’T move a lot of air but have a wide baffle add a LOT of early bass reflections BACK to the sweet spot. The smaller the room and the larger the speaker, the more I open the room up. I open two rear 36" french doors. It "ports" a lot of the extra bass and depressurizes the room plus tames the low mids. Those waves are still pretty long. they go right on out the doors behind the seated position..Along with Xtra bass ect.. works quite well
Look at the speakers I use the forward facing baffle is only 6-8" wide and the speaker is over 390 lb and 74" tall The rear baffle is 16"
The smaller version for smaller rooms is close in width but only has a 8" rear baffle and 48" tall. Either works just fine, there is a larger and smaller version too. Understand, these planars alone will handle 300 watt on the small ones and 500 on the Elixirs, They will leave you DEAF and calling 911.
Add the bass 300hz and below which (NOW) is comprised of columns (of course) 4 12" MB and 4 12" subs. THEY move the air.. the planars don’t.
You stand in front of those planars and turn um up, YOU’LL catch on fire. LOL. You stand in front of the MB columns, LOL it will push the air out of your chest... The subs, do what subs do... NOT MUCH...
Put on 50 cent.. hee hee.. Tape the windows on the french doors they will back the screws out of the sheetrock.. YUP.. No nails in that room..
With OB servo bass you can close the doors. weird.. Completely different how the room pressurises.
SIZE counts... I guess..
