There should be 8 separate enclosures within the cabnet, and each of 4
drivers share a common port, so its not a total air leak.

Can you please explain how 4 drivers in isolated enclosures can share a
common port?
AFAIK none of the drivers are isolated.

I never visited the insides of the 802, but thats the way the 901 is.
There are
three chambers in the 901 III up. You see only two ports in the 802
right?

The 901 has 9 drive units, 8 at the back and 1 at the front. In other
words, it is used the other way round to the 802 which has the 8 drive
units facing the audience and two ports at the back. The 901 is a sealed
box, with no ports, and is intended to provide most of its output
reflected off the back walls, and only a small amount directed at the
listener. The 802 is a PA 'speaker, and in my view, quite a good one for
speech and individual instruments whilst the 901 was a so-called hi-fi
'speaker which singularly failed, given that stereo doesn't work if the
sound is scattered as the 901 did.

Actually, I may be wrong on the sealed box aspect of the 901, as the current
pictures do show a port. I don't remember there being one on older 901s, but
again I could be wrong on this, memory not being what it was.
