It uses the 2-1/2' flared port tube from parts express cut to 6' long. The MTM is 7'w x 16'h x 10.5'd (1/2' material though you can use a 3/4' baffle). Don't let the nearfield comment scare you away from using it in a larger listening space, with a highpass filter at 80hz it will handle more power then pretty much any AVR is capable of delivering. It also allows a decently large vertical listening window.

The low crossover and tight driver spacing allows this design to work quite well as a nearfield monitor with very little distance needed for proper summation between the drivers. The crossover is about 2100hz, fairly low but the ND28 handles it well without any rise in distortion. I have the port installed on the back directly behind the tweeter for both this design and the MTM.

New 2018 enclosure is 7'w x 10'h x 9'd, built from 1/2' MDF, using the 1-5/8' flared port from PE (port left at full length). My original test enclosure was about 0.15cuft, 6'w x 9'h x 8.5'd tuned to 60hz with the 1-3/8' adjustable port from PE.

The DS135 is quite capable of running fullrange in a small ported enclosure (0.15-0.25cuft) tuned to 55-65hz but is best used with a subwoofer. These designs can put out a lot of sound for their size. I'll end up wrapping them in the same veneer as the towers and get a photo of them at that point. I ended up putting large 5/8' round overs on the sides of these cabinets which I feel look better then the square edges. Crossover updated for new baffle size and for slight changes in newer batches of tweeters.

Update 1/13/17, Enclosure and crossover redesign for the TM and MTM, not as tight of a squeeze on the baffle and larger volume improves bass response. (Warning photo heavy, lots of graphs and schematics) Here is a nice picture someone got of the tower designs I brought to the 2014 Midwest Audio Fest: WTMW Center channel 3-way (configurable in vertical WTMW cabinet or TMWW tower form) IвЂ™ll update and post links to each of the respective designs below when I get them written up.

Visually they match well, the DS and SD drivers sharing the same frame style and cone material and all the drivers looked to perform well within their respective bandwidths. I settled on the Dayton ND28F-6 for the tweeter, the Dayton DS135-8 as the midrange and two Dayton SD215-88AвЂ™s as woofers. Finally I wanted the midrange/midbass able to be used in a compact two way surround with decent power handling and extension in a small ported enclosure. I also wanted the drivers to match if possible and give a nominal 8 ohm load so it would be safe for even the most anemic AVR or those super cautious users who just donвЂ™t want to risk driver a lower impedance speaker. I wanted to use drivers that would offer very good performance yet keep the cost of the design in reach of those looking not looking to spend an arm and a leg. These designs came about from my interest in building a conventional 3-way design (which there seem to be a lack of kits for) and one which would allow for an ideal horizontal center channel use. The recommended amplifier power is rated between 10 вЂ“ 150 watt RMS, where it applies as for every speaker: the higher the power of an amplifier the less distortion can be found at lower volumes.Timbre matched family of Hi-Fi/HT speakers all based on the same midwoofer (Dayton DS135-8) and tweeter (ND28F-8). Their amazing looks and fabulous sound quality make these speakers the perfect partner for use with Box Design components and other high quality hi-fi systems! Classy high-gloss piano lacquer finishes suit every style and are available in 3 colours (black, white, red). These 2-way floorstanding speaker delivers everything real music lovers are looking for: Audiophile natural midrange, lively dynamics, surprisingly low coloration, good transparency and reasonable image depth, well tuned and upbeat basslines that offers fast and tuneful performance.ДЄ luxury and rigid glass base with adjustable spikes assembly guarantees best stability.
