I would be interested to hear what these are and in what way they are
better other than box size.

I suppose there's many ways to skin a cat. My preference (shaped by
price and space too) over the years has come down to sealed box or
transmission line. Wonder what Don has in mind.

Yes, those are the two I've found best of all. The one tends to be
enormous and the other very inefficient. I've yet to hear bass from a
ported reflex enclosure that I actually like.

You don't have to tune a reflex box to give one note bass. :-)

Most people's response on hearing a B139 TL is "Where's the bass?"
You have to explain that you can't hear it because it's so good.
Perhaps a spot of LF EQ would help.
