Yeah, the longer I've been on audio forums, the more I've come to appreciate Altec's and the other pioneer's design philosophy of intentionally designing in some leakage and adjusting box size and/or vent tuning to get an acceptable result because even if they could reliably manufacture an airtight product the odds are that the tuning would go away the first time it's opened in any way, so in the scheme of things a wasted added cost better spent on either improved components for pro use or fit/finish to improve 'curb appeal' of consumer products.
Why get rid of the R-13? If nothing else, I'm curious how it works out.........
Ugh! I just had my little reminder program pop up to remind me to file too, though being below the poverty level, yet above the minimum required to file a return, it's just a paper exercise with no tax either paid or owed. Seems like they would make the two $$$ points the same, but apparently their need for keeping their workforce ever increasing is the reason for the spread.
