This is more or less what I am after in my "20-20k dipole" project. See thread in the Multi-way forum.
A dipole is a great way to get constant directivity, and you can get this across the entire audio band if you take care in your design choices.
Another approach towards the goal of constant directivity that I want to try in the near future is an 18" woofer plus a CD+large horn tweeter. I have all the parts in hand, but need to build the enclosure, etc. and this is a very slow process for me.

Have look at Bwaslo's Small Syns:
Small Syns
They maintain directivity to a far lower frequency than most.

Thank you, but I was looking more for DIY solutions
The Dutch & Dutch speakers began as a DIY project on this forum, and one could likely emulate their performance using the data from the thread.

OK then, how about soffit mount?
Why not exactly this DIY Speaker | DXT-MON | nearfieldSo basicaly something like this:
Vertically it looks more modest.
Thank you for the suggestions, I will take a look at all of them
I know the speaker (since I posted it), but I am just looking to broaden my horizon. Also the mentioned vertical directivity is a factor.

I dont have any preferences, so I am basically just looking for well thought out concepts
Well, it might seem like that, but that cannot be completely true. Do you want/need this:
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
or

Both are Porsche's, and both are well thought out concepts. Both however have vastly different use cases.
Same applies here...
As for diy projects (or related topics), iIm guessing that in any point in time at least one or two of them are on the first two page of this subforum, so they are definitely not uncommon.
You might check out Wayne Parhams Pi4 or his other DIY options.

I'd go for a dipole setup along with Horbach-Keele xovers
