Sorry for the delayed reply.

Oh yes. 50Hz is possible ; )

Fs of the driver is measured at 32HZ matched for both channels.

As for a smaller driver, the smaller throat, keeping the "same" length for practical reasons wouldn't load it sufficiently. Giving it a few feet more length would be a choice but we would end up with a weirder looking final design. Even as it is the criticism is quiet heavy on the looks. Plus phasing would be much harder keeping the beaming of the rest of the ways as it is now (averaged ear level at least for the mid).

The inside of the back chamber is not square. Corners are rounded. The outside square doesn't add that much reflection on the hi. Directivity of the tractrix helps.


On the sound I wouldn't dear to comment, ANIMA been my creation.

In my listening room frequencies lower than the low end of ANIMA would add more troubles than pleasure. So for the moment I'm listening to it without and additional LF. If necessary I would vote for a box -even mono- with some hi powered PWM amp and heavy DSP pushing it to taste.

Again, in my listening room I'm running them on hard mosaic floor while in the show room we had thick carpet on soft wood floor. I prefer the hard floor been a fan of fast midbass without the usual not natural IMO "tail". The upper bass with the driver is around 70kg.

Music ... If I had to pack some music for one way trip to Marsh it would be Jazz, Blues and Classical.
