It controls the ripple better for a smooth response and easy transition to the midrange. Have you built many transmission lines?

hum, interesting.

and tube filling on that case?

Just a couple, only for the experience. 1/4lambda gave me strong peaks in 2x Fs but I never worked on them to reduce the peak

Lots of fill is bad for efficiency. People use to think that it only affected higher frequencies but this is false. I try to fix all ripple and peaks with tube design before adding any damping. Line dimensions and offsets will usually get you 80% clean, then you can fix the rest with fill. With software it's easy
