Re: 'Real' bass - ported vs sealed speakers
I’m way out of my league here; that much is now obvious.

Re: 'Real' bass - ported vs sealed speakers
A bit of plastic tube is cheaper than a bigger bass/mid driver

Re: 'Real' bass - ported vs sealed speakers
…. A well engineered sealed box speaker can make a reasonable recreation of the sound of a bass drum in a field and in room. A slimline low efficiency ported speaker can't because it's not capable of recreating bass drum transients with any sort of fidelity regardless of where it's placed… Transien...

Re: 'Real' bass - ported vs sealed speakers
They lacked physical bass impact unless they were at ear shattering levels. In the end that was the reason I gave up and sold the drivers. It’s the old adage:
Deep bass
High efficiency
Smaller cabinet.
Pick any two you can’t have three.

Re: 'Real' bass - ported vs sealed speakers
When you get down to 12 x 12 with 9ft ceiling rooms like mine, where the hi-fi has to share space with the TV and the distaff side of the household, then compromises have to be made. Large speakers in a space like mine are simply too overwhelming as I’ve found out the hard way. I designed some large...

Re: 'Real' bass - ported vs sealed speakers
If a bloke with a drum kit and a bass player all amped up showed up in my room and started banging and crashing, I’d be well put out and show them the door. An accurate facsimile of live sound in my living room is my worst nightmare. :shock: But if folk want to strive for that kind of experience who...

Re: 'Real' bass - ported vs sealed speakers
What I’m trying to say is that it’s all about the implementation rather than the type of box. I’ve built sealed, reflex, aperiodic and transmission line cabinets and they all have their foibles. I’ve found a ported box that produces a presentation I like; one that fits my particular circumstances/ r...

Re: 'Real' bass - ported vs sealed speakers
Interesting all this talk of ported vs sealed box bass and the veiled dissing of the latter. I was given the 30 year old Mission 773 speakers below, by a fellow AT forum member: Mission_773.jpeg They are fast, clean, time beautifully and are completely free from boom, or port noises. The bass is eve...
