Thank you for offering a different perspective regarding Cabinet leak. Interesting and hopefully not applicable in caseywkc loudspeaker.

Happy Listening!

Cabinet leak is a good idea. External is unlikely unless there has been cabinet damage. Loose driver screws could cause a leak. Also between the large/woofer enclosure and the 6" midrange tube enclosure. Check that by pressing the midrange and seeing if the woofer / passive radiator move.

I don't know if latex caulking was used on the 2.2 but if you find a leak you will have to remove it and then reseal it .

Also I would suggest placing the speaker on it's back with the speakers facing up , this will allow you to see if there is a large or small leak . 

Happy Friday! All

Tom Thiel did you or your brother Jim ever study or observe any benefit of the structural placement of driver's or port tubes as they relate to laminar flow inside of a speaker cabinet. Are there any published studies on turbulence generated by internal cabinet shape or attached support obstacles? TomD
