Has anyone here ever built anything like this and can comment or give some input on performance ??

73" tall is little?.........

Got no highs, got no lows, must be Bos.... errr no wait, that's any 'fullrange' driver.

So if you want to 'play', then this is probably a fun project. For serious listening IMO it's a joke.

In principle, any relationship to these Meadowlark Krestrel 2's ????

Yeap they both use TL designs for the bass augmentation.

Well Thomas, I was looking forward to building the ported M8n MTM, but are they as good as these pipes?

Hi Paul,

Hey build whatever trips your trigger

When Jon and I first met (very early 1970's) T-lines were all the rage. Many articles were being published in what was then called Speaker Builder magazine, now AudioXpress.

So we built TL's, sometimes a new design every week for weeks on end. One time we had a single 10"DVC in a TL that would take all the power a Phase Linear 700 could deliver. Boy was it LOUD!

But after building a dozen or so TL variations, we decided that for all the time/energy/work/etc, TLs weren't worth the effort....... some 30+yrs later, that opinion really hasn't changed.

Just so I'm clear on this............. those Meadowlark Krestle 2's are a joke :?:

The comment you quoted, was made in the second post in this thread. And it was made in reference to the first post in this thread.
