Understood; indeed it can! Got sucked in at age 8 and will probably continue to 'fiddle' with it until I physically can't.

OB definitely is the theoretical ideal loading for point source drivers and why the pioneers used it in large room, cinema apps, but small room acoustics can make it a tough 'row to hoe' getting it right unless the transition from OB to the nether regions is fairly high in frequency, somewhat negating the OB's benefits. Now if the room's walls, ceiling can look like it's made from freeform rubber and just as soft to the touch..........

Anyway, good luck with it and hope you only need a separate driver [ML]TL or other box alignment for the < 80 Hz [or lower] BW.
