Yep, I've made a few boxes (and have the software to prove it - these
days) so know all about TS params. However, as I alluded to in my
other post - I've seen "10 inch" drivers (for instance) with cones
that vary by around two inches in diameter. As most speaker-buyers
will never need to know what size a replacement driver will need to
be it could potentially be very misleading.

I mean, if your average punter is looking to buy speakers and it's a
toss-up between two different brands, both 3-way with a "10 inch"
woofer (which vary by the afore-mentioned 2" or thereabouts) said
punter might not know that in fact one woofer has 30% more cone area
than the other. After all they're both 10" right?

Frankly it's irrelevant. You can buy a box with a 10" driver for $100
or one with an 8" driver for $10,000. No-one in their right mind
would think the $100 box is better because it has a bigger driver.

So you'd be happy to buy cars defined by their wheel base (rather than what
that wheel base contains) then huh?

Okay.
