I may get into a little bit of "trouble" for tipping my hand on this, but heck, soon everyone is going to be doing the Turkey Day and getting ready for the big year end holiday, so they won't even remember these hints dropped this afternoon in the middle of November...
Steve has "teased" me a bit from time to time that all I know how to do is design humongous speakers (guilty, sometimes), and wonders why I can't do a basic sound bar...
(of course, my response is, that if you need a soundbar, go to Best Buy, if you need an Ardent or something even more ambitious, come to HT Guide).
But center channel speakers are a peculiar subset for audio, and some recent events and minion efforts on my part have brought me to consider the wedding slogan for a CC- you know, something borrowed, something blue? (well, maybe not blue, not really one of my favorite colors).
But ET hasn't noticed that I've been cadging some info from his Kii inspired posts, and I have created a compendium of driver data and crossover concepts that seems to have some promise... including a much shorter CC configuration that still may sing pretty well for one of my own upcoming installations.
That's why I'm calling this the NASB (Not Another Sound Bar), or as shared recently with Steven and more or less approved by him, "The Skinny Minnie".
(what I didn't tell Steve is that my French connection send me some ODM Peerless parts by mistake that might even make possible a "TRSM" - I'll leave that for you quick wits to figure out what it means...) (no prizes, unfortunately )
But a hint, on what the TSM could look like... based on early simulations with driver data.

All I want for Christmas this year, though, is wrapping up other commitments and getting back to the Saint-Saens...
A new final assembly process is being tested for a new pair of 2522 MOD3 evaluation parts. But let's not go off topic... more tomorrow, in the right topic thread.
