You old hippie, you.

Navin - using the JX92 off-axis (firing straight up) would be fine, expect a slight loss of HF but not a lot.

Colin, the more I look at it the more it seems that the JX92 might be my best bet (compared to line arrays of FF85K or Veravox3 and other options.) given my budget and size constrants. right?

Has anyone compared the Veravox 5 or Supravox 135 or Cantare 5 to the Jordan 92?

BTW given that today so much information is mixed into the center channel would it mean that one should have a beefier center channel (for HT/AV use) than the left and right front speakers.

Definitely go for the JX92. It has the extra flexibility of being usable in enclosures from a 3 litre sealed box right through to GM's magnificent 48 MLTL, with lots of enclosure shape options along the way. So you could use the same driver front and back but the back units could be in substantially different types/size cabinets, depending on room restraints. (My partner thinks I need a lot of restraints, when I get onto the subject of speakers.)

thanks scott and colin. jx92 it is. More flexible than the Vervoax 5 and Supravox 135 i guess, and the Veravox and Supravox are equal or worse.

now the question is should i order 5 or 6. after being trold that in HT/AV the center sees more information than the left and right I am wondering if i should use 2 JX92 for the center. the options are many (dual mono a la ariston, 2 Jx92 in a under the plasma box but placed 3 feet apart, etc..). the thing is that shipping and import agent fees will be the same if i import 5 or 6 but at $300 a pop (incl. duties and taxes) I'd like to only get what i need.

BTW my wife has being restraining me for years. You get used to it. Usually i ignore it and hide the project at a friend's place till done.

Delivery will take a while. I have time. Meanwhile I got a couple of tube amps to complete and after that intend to tackle my CD63KI.

thanks for all the help. Atleast now I know what size of boxes I can use. I am trying desperately to find room for atleast the 31" MLTL (wall mounted). Maybe I will create a smaller ML-TL based on MJK's worksheets.

Not sure a smaller MLTL will be worthwhile - you may be better off going for a reflex along the lines of the Jordan 8 litre on the site. The MLTL can be flattened out to the same shape as the Jordan VTL - keeping the same CSA - and would lie flat against the wall. If either side of a screen, it could perhaps be hinged with piano hinges to swing forward for image-critical listening. Lots of possibilities.
