Maybe they thought you were talking generally about speakers in
corners rather than the specific one which your grandfather built.
Scott replied as though corner speakers could only be horns, fair
enough if that's the only sorts he's met.
Actually it always was the case that there was only one other good technical
reason for a dedicated "corner only" design, and that other reason was to
save bricks and building time. Which is to say that the only "classic era"
corner bass reflex box known to me is the one designed by Briggs for a 12"
and I can't remember what else, probably a two-way.
I simply pointed out that
the one I was talking about was a bass-reflex. But then Richard
Crowley crashed in with "If you had ever seen one, you would know
better", clearly indicating that he had no idea what the point of my
comment had been, or indeed on the flow of thread up to that point.
People here are really incompetent like and don't know that they are not
supposed to type comments into a thread between you and somebody else.
Then GregS comes in with "So it might be either or both" when it is
clear from the context that "it" is the speaker I was talking about.
Yes I get ****ed-off when people tell me that I would "know better"
simply because they are incapable of following a thread!
This is because the good people here are not only technically incompetent,
they also do not have manners and they don't know the prior state of the
art. You should have seen this earlier on and understood that because of
their vast technnical ignorance they didn't know what corner box you were
speaking about and then you should have told them and provided a web link to
description and photos.

Is the one I'd like to have, way better midrange unit that the Klipsch box.
