RE: Here you go

I didn't know he'd weighted the woofer. That does seem a problematic approach. Magnepan gets away with it because they can segment the woofer and use the tuned resonant sections to shape the response to achieve something reasonably close to 6 dB/octave dipole equalization.

Even then, I think that electronic equalization is preferable. But, as you say, audiophiles aren't wild about electronic equalization and it does stress amplifiers and woofers and add to cost. Still, I assume you've corrected it in your own system? Arguably, woofers should always have electronic EQ anyway, it just isn't possible to get smooth response in a practical room otherwise.

When my system gets to the point at which I can worry about some things I'll use the Mini DSP to equalize the woofers and then I'm thinking about using secondary woofers to take out the dips from backwave cancellation.
