Hi folks.
First off would like to say that I have been lurking around here quite a while.
I am really impressed at how you all work together on projects so much, and it is quite refreshing to see a community with a lot more postitve than negative attitude.
A little about me. I have always been into audio and video. Just could never really afford it. This year I have finished paying off my debts and have started to build up what I consider a pretty decent video setup so far.

Audio so far.
Yamaha RXV-1600
Crown XLS 402

As you can see though my teenie tiny small little Yamaha speakers don't do me justice. Not too mention:
I Cannot Stand Small Little Speakers.
Everything I have built has been oversized. eg. Audio rack, tv stand
In fact I almost talked myself in to not only likeing, but willing to spend $1500 on a pair of Cerwin Vega speakers. 8O
I have come to the conclusion that I could build a hell of a speaker for that kind of money or a little more as I will not be buying everything at once.
Don't fall asleep yet. I am getting there.
This is where I don't want to hear any laughter. :B
I have owned many small sets of speakers. They sound great but asthetically do absolutely nothing for me. I like to see a woofer moving around, I like to see woofers and mids and tweeters when I am listening to music and never have had the covers on any speakers. To me a lot of the enjoyment is being able to see the mechanics of what is making the sound. I have however come to the conclusion that I will not be building a speaker with a 15" subwoofer as part of the tower. I will build a couple of dual 15 subwoofers maybe. :twisted:
Anyway, here is what I am contemplating, and would like to know from the good folks here if this would work or not.
It is a design you have already posted "MTMWW" with a twist. WWMTMWW.
Yes, it would be tall. 75" high or so.

Can I build this into the current design by just adding the bottom WW section to the top. So the internals would also be the same.
Should I angle the top down a few degrees.
Before I get too excited about this I figured I would ask.
In this case Size is important and I would be willing to sacrifice a little(sacrilidge)sound, to make myself happy, and not regret what I have built.
Thanks to everyone.
Mike
P.S. I do have the woodworking skills to build these.
Cross-overs will be a first, but I am confident in my abilities.
Electronics Math scares the hell out of me.
Exhale..................
I am adding a few pictures here as my photo bucket has changed.
If anybody sees this and they want more info please pm me.
