I hope this helps.

Usually, with an open back cab, some of the the rear radiation cancels out some front radiated frequencies.
A Thiele Cab has a port, essentially a phase-tuned hole, which allows the sound radiation from the rear of the speaker cone to reinforce the sound from the front. This results in a stronger bass response. And it's the size of the port, its placement, and the inside volume of the cab which all play a part.
A completely enclosed cab, like a Marshall 4 x 12, does much the same thing, but is a good deal less efficient.
"Thiele" is Albert Neville Thiele, an Aussie science guy who, along with a guy named Small, came up with a bunch of math to help design speaker cabs that would be more efficient than just a simple box.

I have the opportunity to purchase a thiele cab with the EVM 12L for $225, or I could purchase an open back cab, the open back cab is a crate brand cab with also a EVM 12L. This one is $75. Would it be worth spending the extra for the thiele?
