Allison and Snell - Against the Wall


One previous trend that has vanished and I wish would re-appear is speakers designed specifically to go up against the wall.

Sometimes custom line arrays are made like this, but neither Snell nor Allison's approach required line arrays to work correctly.  Is there a brand out there now which has taken up these design ideas?

It did both..It had a rectangular but shallow bass cabinet with a downward facing weighted 10 in woofer slot loaded around 3 sides. The top enclosure contained the mid and tweet on a curved baffle..the tweeter was a dome but had a lens applied. The top and bottom mated up via pegs in the cabinet. Intended to place against the wall. Peter had a useful patent on cabinet designs to overcome boundary interference. Tom
 



Martin-Logan Mike’s several models designed to
moin on or fire in front of your walls. 
Klipschhorns, designed to go in corners--that's against two walls, I guess....
