OK, so I have a friend with a problem: He's got a wife.
Sure, we could try and address this issue head through separation or divorce, but chances are she'd get the house and there ain't no room for speakers in the gutter.
So he's trying to get me to "work around" the wife (his words) and I guess its worth trying it his way. For now...
So the story goes he wants a full range design (TQWT / ML-TQWT / BLH) that will work in his house. The good news-- it doesn't need to be super big. A 4" to 6" driver would be just fine (Fostex preferred-- 103E / 108EZ / 126E / 127E). Now here's the good news' sulkier partner, the bad news:
These things can only go on top of his entertainment center, which is about 34" - 36" tall. That means that we will not achieve the "ear level" goal for the drivers unless they are on the bottom of the cabinet.
So with this in mind, I'm thinking that its possible I could flip a horn or TQWT upside down (as long as the bass port is in the back?) and sit the drivers at ear level. It would still have to be of reasonable size. I'm figuring larger than bookshelf is OK, but The Kleinhorn would be out of the question.
Does this sound reasonable or am I just going berserk? Does it sound reasonable and am I going berserk?
Anyway-- got some oil-for-food money left over for the right answer here. NO REASONABLE RESPONSE WILL BE TURNED AWAY! APPLY NOW!
