Looking to build an existing design of a floor standing 2-way for music listening on a standard 8ohm amp:
1)Sealed, or vented??? I am open to modifying the internal volume without changing baffle width of course. But what are the major disadvantage at using a vented design over sealed? Is the base truly single note with a vented design?
2)Also after finding these, which all use "good" drivers, which should I try? If it's too complex a question, can you comment on the differences between specific designs? Some have more expensive X-overs, are they worth the time and money? Is the difference in sound quality going to be minimal between these?
