Just a quick one as I thought about this driving back from the dentist (no, I didn't have any anesthetic!)
I got a Martin Logan Voyage (in wall) centre speaker that I built a box for - to go under the TV. Works fine and sounds really good. But...
If we decide to get the next TV mounted on the wall, I still don't want to mount this speaker in drywall. So, I could build another box (thin, and resting on the floor, as the speaker is designed to be mounted in a 4-inch deep space) or, could I just turn the speaker over so it's facing vertically, and mount some sort of reflector, at 45 degrees, to reflect the sound out into the room.
I had a search and couldn't find anything about it, except some of those 360 degree speakers with the drivers mounted flat (and reflecting off a cone).
Would it work? And if it would, what sort of reflective surface would be needed (obviously, reflective, yet inert)? How much wider than the original driver speaker (about 90 cm) would you need to go.

We did some experimentation (way back when) in theaters. The theater company wanted to use solid screens for better brightness/picture quality. We had the speaker above the screens, bouncing off them. Worked remarkably well, but required horns.
I haven't spent too much time dealing with lenses (like e.g. the JBL 2308). Would they do something required?
Thanks for the second!
I can hold off building a second box for it (tall, wide, thin) as I'm fairly sure 75inch+ OLEDs will not be in our price range for a while. And the current box, even though it's a little ugly, serves as a good stand for the current 4K unit.
At least the wood I used (17mm ply) was not expensive and does a reasonable job...
