Bass Reflex Port
Winner meridian vs straight bore, equal-airflow comparison, 1 m noise floors, and refinement convergence — ending in an honest null result: no inward-only profile beats the straight tube on noise.
Port optimisation is part of the loudspeaker pipeline: spline-parametrised profiles evaluated for flow noise at matched airflow, with the optimiser free to deform the bore inward. Publishing the null result with full provenance is the point — the machinery, not the headline, is the product.
