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.


Strange I can't think of any pro speaker maker who used TL?


I came very close to buying a pair of IMF TLS 80s. Perhaps you don't
consider them "Pro".

At the time, IMHO their bass performance was second to none and could
shake the house with very tight deep bass.

Then I fell in love with imaging which they didn't do so well and I bought
something else.
