Suddently I also started to reflect over my very past designs and ways to overcome most common problems with sound control.

In my beleives that it is wrong to try to prisson or capture sound in a boxed design...be it a cabinet or the listening room... I once made a 3 way speaker where i took a flex-pipe and ventilated captured preassure of each chamber in the cabinet out of the listening room and into the free open air.

I did it for all 3 involved drivers (treble drivers too..yes)

Hello! :idea: I dialed a good number with this experiment.

But the trade off were of course the redicilous lookings of such a monster.

Hmmmmm :confused:

I remember the summers I took my speakers into the open garden, placed them on a podium 1 meter high, drew a 50 meters long speaker cable and got them going.

Wow, then I knew what a listening room is doing to the sound..... Kept this in mind with my future philosophies about cabinets.

The SWING's internal construction and it's vent technology is inspired by those learnings. (As you know).
