In Reply to: That was NOT the fundamental premise!!! posted by John Marks on July 21, 2024 at 15:27:05:
"...is not something that every loudspeaker designer thinks is worth the trouble."
I'm not sure how you can make a statement like that. That a designer doesn't think it "is worth the trouble"?
It's about the behavior of the driver when it is attached to a box. Baffle step isn't some magic -- it's an acoustic result as the driver goes from radiating from 4pi (free space) to 2pi (half space), because of the baffle it's now attached to.
On a freestanding loudspeaker, the choice not to compensate indicates not a design compromise, but a fundamental misunderstanding of how drivers work with their enclosures. Compensating is part of designing. And once again, this is an easy thing to model, even with a calculator and a piece of paper.
