Hi GC,

congratulations for your Swings and listening room

Thank you very much Giovanni

For the time being I like to experiment and enjoy the art of compromise.

It is an art indeed to hit the best compromise.

In my small listening room there is not enough space for Oris reference
bass enclosure, and even the Compact model wouldn't be angled correctly.

Yaeh...that set's at least some trade-off. Were thinking of your room could be small then? Then I would be reluctant to go lower than you aim at 40 Hz...and further limit eventual insane listening levels.

TL pipe idea is good because it goes to a corner close to the wall in
40x40 cm space. I don't need it to go so low, 40 hz are enough for classic
music, the important is that a doublebass must sound louder than a cello
playing the same note.

Yes Giovanni. It is not easy either in this case than to compromise.

I agree that horns are better than TL, but if you have no room for a mouth
large 1/4 wavelenght Fc and a horn 1/2 wavelenght long, that is a
compromised horn. Maybe a less compromised TL sounds better.

It is certainly not nessecerely so that horns are better than TL's and BR better than closed boxes etc. All principles may be tuned to their best...but they sound very different.
There are so many parameters to taken into account when all things are put together.

GC
