my ignorant biased view of reflex, Karlson and pipe speakers

High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

imo "smooth graph" or "xxx alignment" means little if a speaker is audibly droning (one tone) on bowed-bass passages or fails to play drum-beats with dynamic gradation. (good horn can do this)
I"m not a fan of reflex and what limited t-line/pipe experinece has been poor overall with regards to perceived transient response - bowed bass did not properly render and drums were awful.
music doesn't reach steady-state - a Karlson box whether work to one's imagination or not can have low cone excursion where "it counts" - if dynamic range is desired
I think its possible to have pretty graphs and mediocre to poor sound.
