Personally, I don't care for bandpass enclosures; I prefer front loaded
boxes, even over huge professional horns. I just think that they sound
better. I was half joking when I suggested a pair of 18's. That 
3,500^3ft room is larger than many listening environments, and that
space is certainly required to let the long wavelengths develop 
properly. 120dB from 2 10"'s @ 30hz? That is rather impressive.....
Still....I don't like trick enclosures. Take care.
