Ian,

What is the formula for the cutoff frequency? All I know about is L=3Dc/f w=
hich suggests that a 21" dish is only good down to about 638 Hz. And even t=
here all the charts I have seen show severe dropoff for all frequencies bel=
ow about 1kHz. I'd love to understand this better.

Any online resources you can point to?

Thanks!

John
