Hm, that sucks. Nobody tested the drivers first?
I've been saying Ripoles suck for a while now, on diyaudio, having failed twice at getting reasonable sound from them . They went low in my experiments, but at atrocious efficiency and were accordingly easy to bottom out. More power to you if you prove me wrong. Otherwise, live and learn.
I've never tried a ripole, but I'm surprised Nelson Pass's experiment works so well, since it looks like a ripole with a baffle. Maybe the baffle makes all the difference?http://www.enjoythemusic.com/diy/0911/slot_loaded_open_baffle_speaker.htm
