| Re: Creating a possible 5 speaker system... Sonnie,
It wouldn't be too tough to veneer the cabinet in oak, dye it black and finish it with a satin polyurethane. It would actually be less trouble than a painted finish.
The speaker I have in mind would use 6 of the Dayton 6" woofers, which have an outer frame diameter of 5 15/16". With only a 1/2" roundover on the cabinet edges I could get away with a 7" wide cabinet. I think a 44" tall/wide cabinet will still work fine although the center may need to be a little wider if you want the cabinet built with ports on the front.
As far as bipole surrounds are concerned, I'll start doing some homework on those and see what I can come up with.
Also, your room really isn't all that large, so the current Pulsars might be adequate, but I think the speaker I'm proposing would work better for you.
