Robert,
your view somewhat mirrors that of Linn when they introduced their Isobarik speakers. In the almost 30 years since then, the theoretical understanding of isobaric loading has improved. What it does is to double the moving mass and the motor force. You can also look at it as a space saving device: if you look at the loading of the front driver, the space between the two drivers counts normally, the space behind the enclosed driver counts double. Isobaric loading can be seen as a (not inexpensive) way of getting deeper bass out of a given enclosure, or of reducing enclosure size for a given lower frequency limit. There may be further advantages, such as improved enclosure rigidity from the internal partitioning that isobaric loading implies.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
