Are these drivers/cabinet sizes you recommend?  Is it based on personal experience?  (If so care to share your impressions?)

I don't get it.  I could post 1000 drivers with enclosure sizes based on data sheets.  What's the point of this topic?

Thankyou Michael you most kind.
As my contribution to FR drivers and DIY people was not appreciated I will not post more projects.

I think FRM was offering up ideas as a form of brainstorming. Potentially, an inexperienced lurker might see something that catches his/her imagination. It's enough to send him/her off to Madisound or Meniscus Audio, etc. From there, new ideas can jump forth. When I first discovered DIY speakers, I spent countless hours reading about dozens of different designs before I jumped in and bought a pair of GR Research LGKs followed by a pair of Adelphos speakers.

FRM,

Your effort was not completely unappreciated, okay?  :thumb:
