I recently heard Mr. Jim Salk's Songtower speakers. The imaging and soundstage were outstanding - loved them!!
What would be my best choice for a sealed MTM design using the PE 1.0 cubic foot prebuilts that would sound like / close to the ST's? These will be shelf mounted close to wall at rear and side and used for 50% music (like the Police SACD for example), and 50% HT. I'm already running a 15" ported sub driven with a 500 watt BASH amp for LFE duty. Audesy running on Marantz 7002, with the 7002 managing LFE to the sub at 80 Hz. Just bought an Emotiva B-stock 5 channel amp to handle loads less than 6 ohms - amp should arrive Thursday. Oh, I'll need a matching center too - but I guess I'm focused on the front left and right at the moment.
If budget wasn't a concern (of course in reality, budget is always a concern), what would be the recommended design? I want to stick with something "proven", don't want to spend $1,000+ dollars on something that no one has built or tweaked out. At this point, I've looked hard at the Modula MTM, and considered Zaph's Vifa XG18 / Seas 27TDFC MTM design. What do y'all think? Are there any proven MTM sealed designes using Seas Excel's? What other top of the line MTM sealed designs are out there?
Imaging and soundstage, mid-bass clarity and crystal clear highs are important. Please advise your thoughts gentlemen.
Thanks a lot.
