Another ad. I think it's done by their dealer.

Regarding standing wave in larger enclosures: have you considered an internal Helmholtz absorber to eliminate it?
i have searched and simulated a number of such configurations in Comsol FEA. Yes, you can kill the mode. however, all these methods create a new mode at a lower frequency which is even harder to damp out. Maybe i have not found the right way. There is some theory about poles and zeros need to alternate and this is what forces a new pole below a deep null

AsciLab C8T is developing.
I’m satisfied with the first result.

The woofer position will be a bit differed to get more smooth response.

Cause the bass roll off is quite smooth and deep, in room response will be easily down to 20-30Hz.
40 to 80Hz -6dB/oct, 20 to 40Hz -10dB/oct.

This speaker has more deep controlled directivity down to 200Hz. It’s rare to see as a passive speaker. It’s almost cardioid speaker.

How do you guys think about this beast? :)

Early performance looking really good!
Is it a sealed box with 8" push-pull side-firing woofers?
How's the C8T speaker sensitivity looking like? 85?

Yes. Mean sensitivity is 85dB.
Ported type dual opposide position. Not Push Pull.

I love it. And the directivity control is amazing.
I’m just wondering, though, how much baffle step is hurting the mid-bass driver if you are crossing it down as low as ~200Hz? Can you get higher mean sensitivity if you cross higher? Or should I not care, buy plenty of Watts and rejoice in the directivity, low distortion (any early predictions for that?) and excellent overall linearity/bandwidth?
 
Baffle step starts much higher than 2 or 3 hundred Hertz.

Agree. With a narrow cabinet like that, probably more like 800Hz?
And this really answers my question because why use a driver to only reproduce 800-1KHz.

You're thinking 2 1/2 way (2 bass/different LPF), not? , but mid adapted to bafflestep (let's say 85 dB instead of true 87 dB without correction) will allow to adjust bass to this SPL tuned to lower f-3/6.

Are you trying to drive all the other speaker makers in the world out of business? Cause it looks like you're succeeding. ;)

A 2.5-way config does indeed counter baffle step loss, but I was wondering if the 3-way design here could achieve the same by crossing the mid-bass before the baffle loss takes full effect. This assumes that the SPL from the 2x 8” drivers is suitably high to match the SPL of the mid-bass.
