There was a design recommended by Wharfedale back in the sixties that
used a concrete drain pipe for exactly the purpose you describe. I'm
sure that with a little searching round the bigger plumbers you could
find something suitable.


I remember something like that (with the driver mounted in the side rather
than on the end). I'll be having a wander round the local DIY to check out
their audiophile-quality garden ornaments...


The Wharfedale design used the driver mounted vertically in the end of
the pipe, with a conical reflector suspended above it.


And didn't it use the Super 8 RSDD driver that got discussed to death
here recently?
