I won't jump the gun just yet, I'd like to make sure his measurement is repeatable and he gets similar results with #2. Assuming he does, there will still be resistance from the "elders"
who will talk about a rolloff in the single digits being desirable. Based on low end sensitivity however, logic tells us that in the infrasonic range, it is better to stay flat as low as possible and have a sharper rolloff with more headroom rather than rolloff sooner with a shallower one and less headroom. Then you'll still have the faction that believes ports are the devil
But if all goes well, those who value performance more than myth or hype will see the benefits in such a design.
