Alpair 7ms enclosure recommendation

[GLF]

Hello

I am looking for some thoughts on an enclosure for the 7ms driver. I already have a pair of the drivers but am a bit stuck on a design.

Goals / criteria
- Under ~12" x ~12" footprint
- Room size is about 250 sqft
- Able to be very close to / up against the back wall
- Floor standing or bookshelf is ok
- Ideally used without a subwoofer
- FAST / WAW ok as long as a speaker level passive crossover can be used
- Driven from a 50-100 watt home theater type receiver

Any ideas on something that would meet the above?

Thanks!

Dear GLF,

This is the box for Alpair7MS, I'm using.

The Pencil for the 7MS is within your plan, and seems to work very well:

Ibelin, and there is a growing set of miniOnkens.

I'd definitely consider using a sub or going WAW, depending on the music you listen to and listening volumes

Thanks for the ideas. I think I will give the pensils a shot and see how those do. If necessary a sub could be added down the road.
