LOL, yeah, precisely what's happening. Too many variables.

In line arrangement is just an experiment, it really isn't practical in this room but I wanted to see how it sounded compared to the split configuration.

I'm thinking of moving the radiator around to the front wall so I can put the LH woofer against the wall. Also, thinking of making a transparent diffuser to put over the window . . .

Did someone mention Mini Maggies?

OK, I know I promised to post a picture a long time ago! And what with endless renovations and life it's taken me all that time to get the IVA's where they'll ultimately live. The good news is that they're sounding remarkable, much better for some reason than they did on the adjacent wall -- even with a too-small room and rough, preliminary setup. (The diffusers were just sitting on the floor when I took the picture, they do improve the sound when mounted but one of them goes over the window -- not wild about losing my view!).

Split config:





In line:



WOW!   Now THAT is a wall of sound!   
(I'm guessing you're not married or soon won't be  :lol:)

Don't be so modest Charlie. Everyone at Carverfest that heard them thought they sounded incredible. Great job! These stats did everything very well.

Hi Donald,

I'm guessing you're the same Donald I met at Carverfest?  You would be "DCL" on the Carversite?

Anyway, thanks for the nice comment about my speakers.

You got that right! 350 lbs. each and awkward as hell getting down the steps into the cave, but worth it! In the sweet spot I am often transported, and isn't that what's it's all about?

Amen brother!!
I was helping a buddy move some speakers that weigh 320 pounds into and out of a truck and a trip up a staircase.
Can't say I enjoyed that part. But like you said, it's about the end result.

Anyone heard David JansZens speakers and can share how they sound?
I heard the infamous modules his dad made in 1978 and i still have the sound of those in my head. I recall them being so true to timbre!
How do they integrate with lower end drivers and sound in a box speaker?

I haven't heard the new JansZens. A friend has the old ones but I don't think I can extrapolate from those. However, I've heard nothing but good things about the new ones online.
