The only place I found in the UK that makes tubes like
Sonotube(tm) is Essex Tube Windings in Tilbury.

The don't seem to have any distributors but will make
any size you want. They take credit cards and will deliver,
presumably in a protective cardboard tube.

A 12" woofer at one end of a 10' pipe behind the settee would
make an interesting TL sub.

Owning two B139's myself, I've always liked this idea.
It's have to wait until I move, I think - I doubt that I'd get it down the
stairs of my second-floor apartment - but see what you think!

Yup, I've looked at that and gave it some consideration. I also thought of
applying the principle in an 'installation enclosure' where the TLs were
separate and running up the walls, either side of a door (concrete walls).
Dropped the idea when I rearranged the room and counted the B139s (4 = two
isobarics). There's always the loft space...
