Mass Loaded Transmission Line (the mass is "stuffing") where quarter wavelength standing waves inside the enclosure are used to produce the bass response emanating from the bottom-firing port. It is my understanding that this is what Shindo uses for the basis for their designs?...

The only thing correct in the above statement is, yes, Shindo did a 604 cabinet and crossover for a customer who already owned, and wanted to try his personal GPA drivers (which the customer subsequently ended up removing from the cabinet after determining them unworthy.) Shindo provides original 604 drivers with his particular 604 based loudspeaker but goes a step further by re-engineering it into a field coil driver with integrated power supply within the cabinet.
FWIW, the Shindo is completely different than an MLTL. It's not a textbook design by any means.. .. .
