this is beautiful!
I have to respectfully disagree:
Three ways coming.

How very "Vernish", Steampunky. There is something great about that stuff. It still hasnt hit full stride as accepted decor.
I measured the thickness of the wall yesterday, it is about 9 cm in total. I'm guessing that it means 70 mm wood/void and 2x12 mm plasterboard. What woofers are thin enough (maximum depth of 80 mm)?
I still have this as an option, but my wife is usually hesitant making holes in the walls.

Hey Anton.....sorry I'm late to this thread.
So you want to build something that looks great, fits your decor and your and your wife's 'style' correct?
I see a flat panel screen as well. Do you need low frequency extension for movie effects and such as well?
Does your wife also like LED lighting?
The above design has hundreds of things going for it including the waffy thing.
naaah, its too big for any WAF
only if it was in the size of fingernail polish like some bozo speakers
The LF extension is one of the things that i want but my current system lacks.Hey Anton.....sorry I'm late to this thread.

I've been thinking about adding LED-lights behind some of the on-wall designs, but I'm afraid it will be too much when combined with the Ambilight from the TV. Or did you have another idea?
That would be a great idea (maybe a 10" version) , if the room was more rectangular. Now there is no corner where the right speaker should be mounted.Honey, I will Rock your World!
Corner Controlled Directivity Speakers.
A few more renderings:
White sphere on matte black hexagon stand (down-firing woofer).
Slanted white pyramid (down-firing woofer), bamboo spheres.
Another wall mounted design, with about 50 l volume for woofer.
I saw this speaker while surfing:
Here.
Very pretty, and I like the push-pull configuration. The WAF isn't very high, but if you add a grill to both drivers and the woofer-gap... Maybe? It needs to be smaller too.

Claim the corners! Just say no wife. those are *my* corners, you may have the rest to bend to your will, but not the corners. Rise up, reclaim the corners from the dustballs and whatever else is there, we are at least equal to dustballs. If that doesn't work put Altec 19s at your girlfriends place.
A few renderings based on the last image in my latest post.
Measurements of the MarkAudio Alpair 7.3 and Dayton Audio RSS210. It can hide a push-push configuration.
With cover for the woofers. I actually kinda like this... It can hide a push-pull configuration.
Dimensions:
Maximum width = 260 mm
Front-face width = 120 mm
Depth = 300 mm
Height = 1100 mm
Let's see if I have understood this correctly.
Push-push pros: Reduced vibrations in enclosure.
Push-pull pros: Reduced vibrations in enclosure and odd harmonics cancel each other out.

Actually, those fullrange drivers you were mentioning in a bozo
context, are of good quality and probably the only part of the
set that works properly, considering what manufacturer had in mind.
Once I had the chance of inspecting them closer, hence the opinion.

I like the "eyeball/pyramid" combination best, so far. Beats the wall mount. Woofer in the base downfired .. right? Have you considered a nice coax for the top driver?
What about something like the KEF 107?

Yup, woofer is down-firing in the base.I like the "eyeball/pyramid" combination best, so far. Beats the wall mount. Woofer in the base downfired .. right? Have you considered a nice coax for the top driver?
I did a quick check and found
- B&C 5FCX44 and 6FHX51, their frequency response curves are however very uneven...
- Beyma 5CX200Fe and 6CX200Fe (or Nd-versions, they are a little pricey though), very interesting!
Any more suggestions? The outer diameter needs to be smaller than 200 mm to fit in the IKEA-bowls.
Data sheet for Beyma 5CX200Fe here. Look at the response off-axis!
Many interesting speakers! Thanks!The last looks a bit like Holm speakers

SEAS 18 coax works well in a closed box and it's outer diameter is only 180mm - can perhaps be fitted in IKEA bowl
Crossover suggestion as SEAS Loki The Madisound Speaker Store
Or different version of tweeter and xo Hifitalo AW-7 Aw-7 rakennussarja - Hifitalo
Minimal baffle reduces bass below 400Hz - you will need more bsc than in kits mentioned above. It also means less sensitivity for the finished speaker.

Here, if she moves out , you'll still be happy ...
The problem is WAF...
Not really. There are number of beautiful speakers from the past. Today we just have to reinvent the wheel.
Copy the outlook, insert your best technology.
