Best Driver for Mini Scoop

It's mostly the fact that especially full size scoops exhibit a dip in their frequency response that is proportional to the horn lenght. Depending on the specific design  and horn lenght, the dip occurs somewhere between 80- 150 Hz. It happens due to complex  acoustic cancelations and resulting phase anomalies.

This can de-emphasize the kick drum impact.

The big question is how much this also applies to miniscoops such as your cabinets. Some empirical data has been shown on this forum that suggests that (at least some, but possibly not all?) miniscoops behave a bit more alike to reflex boxes, but it is a controversial subject, especially for traditionalists like Lev.

Or anyone interested in buying a pair of very well built mini scoops either loaded or unloaded?

I've got an event coming up next week with a highly regarded Fabric resident so unless I can get something sorted in the next few days I will be going with the scoops to see what I think. I actually managed to do an A B test against some B&C loaded reflex cabs I already own last night and whilst there wasn't much in it, I would say that the scoops loaded with the Fanes edged it, so hopefully they will do a job next week and then I'll contemplate my options ready for the new year (unless someone particularly fancies the scoops in the meantime).

Exactly  alot of people that comment base their responses on things they've read, rathher than what they've actually done.
