If you have a small room you do not want a "conventional tower"

Look at horns (controlled dispersion makes for minimal front/side wall
interactions) or something designed for on/in-wall placement.


Any idea how well Voigt pipes would sound in smallish rooms, close to rear
walls? This is one design that I have seriously considered having a go at,
in both straight and folded configurations. My drivers probably won't go
down too low, so the height of the pipe and hence its floor area shouldn't
be too scary! My own theory is that with a front port at the bottom of a
standard pipe the bass frequencies would be further extended by the
floor-wall corner of the room - effectively extending the horn to some
extent, although it may need some kind of hard surface reflector inside
the cab along the bottom rear corner.
