More from Tresch
speakers speakers!
This is a much much bigger project than I've done in the past and is taking a looooong time.
Learning experience!
Things are starting to come together, though. I think it's going to work out great :D
These are the main Left and Right channels. there's a matching center, and the rear channels are a little funky. Hopefully I'll have a test fit of those within the next day or two!

I'm doing an MTM design... but more specifically a W-MT-W design (Woofer, Mid-tweet, woofer)
Essentially, I'm using a high end full-range driver (the MarkAudio Alpair5 http://alpair-usa.com/alpair-5-gre5.html) for the tweeter, which will serve as both tweeter and midrange. This way I can cross over fairly low, giving me a simple crossover and lots of flexibility with woofer design. It also helps avoid frequency nulls in the center channel due to phase cancellation on the horizontal plane from two mid-range drivers placed far apart on the same baffle.
The downside to this is the inherent problem with full range drivers, the larger the diameter of the cone the more the off-axis response of the high frequencies suffer. The A5 is pretty small, so this problem only occurs above 10k hz, and has a rise in response in that area to allow some flexibility for compensation, depending on how the speakers are oriented in the final install.
