The 2220 is the very best woofer, simulated and measured, in my Edgarhorn Titans.................as a MIDbass woofer.
The K-33 is still the main woofer in Khorns and has weaker output at it's top end vs. those with larger magnets yielding a higher bl product. For a Khorn, it uses the back chamber resonance, along with corner loading to extend the bass down. (I believe in subwoofers for low bass).

Paul Klipsch even wrote a letter to you about Thiele/Small parameters not applying to Horns, but to bass reflex..........not true.

Time moves on. Don Keele and a Georgia Tech. Professor W Marshall Leach wrote about using those parameters for bass horn design.

I believe our good friends, Tom Danley and W. Fitzmaurice make great use of those parameters, along with Mr. Mcbean in Hornresp.

The application of Science and Software save a lot of Sawdust!
