Designing for corners - Veravox 5S

[inrank]

I have recently just bought another pair of Veravox 5S drivers, having had two pairs before in BiB and Bi-Pole cabinets as well as OB.

I was originally looking to go down the OB route, with an active crossover but been experimenting with placement using the existing enclosure.

I started with more 'normal' placement like traditional speakers:

Then upright in corners:

At ear height in corners:

I will be using the little Eagle amp at the moment, but I am in the process of making a Decware Zen which will be used when its finished.
Its nice to use the Veravox drivers with tube amps, as I never really did when I had the pair(s) before.

I have also just invested in some 3ft Foam Bass Traps for the two corners behind the cabinets.

Overall its sounding not too bad, any advice on designing an enclosure that might suit the corner placement?
Most if not all 'corner' style speakers tend to be horns, and I dont really have the skill or resources to make such a complicated box.
I did look at another BiB cabinet, which may be a good option.

Cheers, Rob
