A loudspeaker enclosure is arranged to support at least one electromagnetic loudspeaker driver generating both front and back acoustic waves. The front of the speaker is substantially planar and the driver is mounted in an opening in the front of the enclosure to radiate forwardly. The driver's back wave communicates through a passage adapted to function as an impedance-matched transmission line cavity having a length that is, preferably, three times the driver cone's diameter, and having one or more ports terminating in openings defined in a plane that is, preferably, substantially perpendicular to the enclosure's planar front. The port or ports have a cross sectional area of, preferably 0.707 to 1.414 times the operative area of the driver cone, thereby giving a highly efficient means of sound propagation.
