Hi,
Could not get the WAF on the A7's and don't know if my room has the capacity for them.
Listened to an original A8 cabinet at "la maison de l'audiohile", the original horn opening was blocked, horn was 288's with Mantaray horns.
Very nice sound and not at all "boxy", open etc...musical yes and you best be careful upstream because it will tell you all about that!
Decided to get them, fitted with 416-8a's does marvels when driven by parallel 211 monoblocs. Hummm do I need a tweeter?
In the end the A8's didn't get much more WAF! Designed bass reflex to get "that"; same volume/vent as shown in image, currently under construction...the Mantaray will be "boxed" as shown.
