How to build the best possible audiophile desktop?

Hi there,

i tried for a while e nearfield listening setup at my desk with 4 15 inch woofer as subs and a small OB with a custom sonido 8 inch with no whizzer cone and a Visaton B80 as FR and tried out all sort of diffrent crossover frequencies between the 8 inch and the 3.5 inch FR, here an old picture

it was a little bit crazy but the all over performance for a desktop setup was really good

as always this is only my personal opinion, Stefano

Cool! (My wife would kill you though). Well, for the totally perfect handout between drivers the time shift between them should not exceed 1/4 of the wavelength. So if your subwoofer is 1 m further than your mid from your head (and from other subs) it becomes completely irrelevant above 1 m * 4 = 80 Hz. However in practice it might be not that strict. Plz take it with a grain of salt.

I am a bit more concerned that the tweeter is too far from the mid, could be a time delay unless your head is in the right place.
