Well, I can't tell you that it doesn't act like a third leaf. Don't really know. However, its a strange case since the speaker is really part of the leaf. The soffit should act more like part of the speaker than a third leaf. Now, for sound coming in from another room, perhaps it will lessen the TL. Problem is, in order for the soffit to act like an infinite baffle, the wall needs to be sealed all the way around. There are soffit designs that do not have sealed edges, but I would consider them a hybrid design and not a true soffit. The experts perhaps can chime in here, but for me, I'd rather have a true soffit and better low freq response from the speakers than a marginally better TL.
