hi,
there is a super high end brand of bookshelf speakers. for years they had a port. sounded lovely. he switched to a radiator. not only is the graph not as good but I feel neither is the sound. he claims a radiator is a step forward.
I will not share the brand and cannot share the graphs as they were given to me in confidence. I will say I much prefer the ported version. everything else about them is the same accept of course for accommodating the radiator. the port was not your average port either but a geometric carbon fiber deal. he claims the radiator costs more than a port. which I read including r&d is not true.
I was just wondering if this is subjective or if there is a consensus behind this. I am not interested in what each prefers but rather if one is definitively more advanced technology then the other. thus providing universally better sound?
thank you
