Greetings all:
I've been lurking here for a while and am quite impressed with how knowledgeable and helpful ya'll are.
I have a vintage pair of large, sealed "bookshelf" speakers that sound outstanding IMHO (ADS L710's), but I really want to turn them into sealed towers. So I am considering building new (small footprint) tower cabinets, duplicating the interior volume of the current cabinets. I understand that I may have issues with baffle diffraction, so I could place the mids and tweeters off-center, the same distance from the edge as they are now. Any opinions or predictions if this concept would work?
Also, what advantages are there with ADS' design of keeping the two 7" woofers in individual sealed enclosures, rather than sharing a larger space?
Is this a ludicrous plan? I would be grateful for any insights and opinions.
Thanks in advance!
