I'm wondering if any do-it-yourselfers has ever tried a design like this.
These are from the Bower & Wilkins Signature series.
As I was reading several discussion about how critical baffle width is to a speaker design, and how problematic baffle edges are, the concept of the B&W Signature series came into my mind, though at the time I thought I had come up with something original.
Essentially, you have a curved front cabinet that has no width or edges; more or less. Into that you make small round vertical tunnels just wide enough to mount the speakers. In my mind I had envisioned a multi-woofer design in a WWMT configuration.
Conceptually it seems like a good idea, but there must be some drawbacks besides the complexity of construction. Which seem fiddly but not all that complicated.
So, to your knowledge, has anyone tried this, and can anyone tell me what the advantages and disadvantages of this design would be?
Just curious. It seemed like a good idea, and I'm surprised lots of people haven't thought of it and tried it.
