So I'm getting pretty close to way too sick of the crap my first ever speaker project embodies, and right now they're my 5.1 HT speakers (well, technically I'm going 4.1 with my MTM's in the front and no center 'cause I got so sick of the others).
It's probably a fairly normally problematic room - narrow, short, barely space for everything. 6.5 inches doesn't quite fit between the screen and the wall on the one side, so narrow has to happen. Little to no baffle step needed.
So right now I'm thinking slightly modular. Lower woofer cabinet 18" wide and probably 28" tall, with a dome mid and a tweeter in a narrow little box that's basically 6" square. 8" woofer centered at one end of the cabinet means I can have the same relative TMW spacing placing the woofer cab vertically or on its side.
Something like this.
The idea here would be that these end up really close to walls if not right up against them. The concept is tossing around the thought of 4ohm RS225, RS52, one of the little Neo dayton tweets or similar. Think I can hit ~90dB sensitivity with this setup given how they'll be used. Cabinet would be pretty shallow (perhaps TOO shallow)
Surrounds, not quite sure yet - I have a low ceiling and I'm pondering somethign that actually sits in the wall/ceiling corner, maybe same mid/tweet and a RS180...
Thoughts? I wish I could redo the room, you know? But that just isn't gonna happen.
