Full range speakers, 40"-44" max height

Speed of Sound

I moved from Virginia to Burlington Vermont.

No proper winter clothes, 30 below zero often, and I was not going to ask the evil step father for gloves, hat, scarf, anything..

Freezing miserably, I would hear the school bus coming, and coming, and where was the damn thing? Finally, it appeared.

Someone told me later, when all the moisture is frozen out of the air, sound travels faster, so I heard the bus when it was farther away.. Sure as hell made sense to me.

Because it was the crackling of the ice on the road, it seemed to me that the high frequencies were traveling faster.

So, see sloped fronts, remember that experience, I made a poor connection of the words time-alignment.

Glad I learned about the acoustic centers of various drivers

Short speaker under 10k?

What do you look for in a speaker (your taste) warm, bright, detailed, romantic, etc. What are you pushing them with? Gonna get most people just suggesting what they own. 

Fyne F502 might be good. Or these Swedish open baffle ones. Had really good bass when I heard them.

Thanks for the inputs.

Very probably I'll choose Meridian DSPs.

+1 For Used Joseph Audio Perspectives

I own the original Perspective and at 36" high they perform way beyond their size.
