I built a few Transmission line speakers years ago. One can't beat physics. You need a quarter wave length to get deep bass. Therefore speakers are tall and big to get low bass (4.3m for 20Hz - 2.9m for 30Hz). Otherwise it is just a bragging factor with no decent results. I salute the tentative, but I don't understand the exercise in this case. A full range speaker can sound nice. Tannoy, Urei, Altec did it. A simple bass reflex in a huge cab would do...
Looks amasing, sound is awful(( TL is good for sub. Wide range is always a big compromice: or you have live open dynamics, but plenty "shit" out of port (upper bass/low mid), or you use some damping material parly in chanel, but than you lose all "magic" of TL and it`s better and more simple to stay with BR. MLTL or TQWP is somewhere between by the way))
