Yes, in so far as I've tried a very big baffle to approximate it. Has merits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it make easier? FWIW, I had good success with 600 x 600 with my current 2 ways - faces with 50mm of insulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to generalise. Lower diffraction means higher general performance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not tried it, but have a look at William Cowan's lounge room with "built in" speakers. They're based on Danley's Unity/Synergy - the same concept as PSE144s http://www.cowanaudio.com/ Click the link on left "Unity the Finale". cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also suspended the horn from wires from the ceiling. It was nice once the speaker could be seen, as it didn’t matter how ugly my schemes were. I could only do this for the L speaker .... and I like tinkering too much with them, so it got taken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nada Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) A modular design with each driver/driver group in its own rounded over enclosure would be handy. Modular to allow easy reconfiguration and experimentation which is going to be essential. Rounded for diffraction minimisation, anti-resonance and as building with fibre concrete easy eg Edited October 20, 2018 by Nada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
