i doubt the Z in bass will buy you much. it might even be detrimental,

Nice tips. I have a related question regarding how should speakers radiate
sound waves, in ambisonic situations. I'd like to get some feedback on my
difficult choice between yamaha hs50 vs. Mackie mr5.

quad above the other)

There was a discussion about speakers for Ambisonics a few years ago. I
can't remember exactly when. But I do seem to recall that it was
suggested that speakers having a single axis (e.g. a single, wide-range
driver or concentric drivers) would be better than speakers having
drivers spread relative

As subwoofers handle frequencies well
below 700 Hz, you need a mini

I found very little information about domestic Ambisonic speakers
setups. All I know is that it's better to use the same speakers and
amplifiers for the whole setup... I adopted the layout proposed by
Bo-Erik Sandholm (10 speakers), and now I have to find the right
speakers.
Here's some random th
There's also the Yahoo group Quarter-Wave
(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/quarter-wave/), where there is
discussion of loudspeaker design, and the related website Quarter
Wavelength Loudspeaker Design (http://www.quarter-wave.com/) where there
is Mathcad software for loudspeaker design. Mostly
A bit out of topic but if anyone else is into building their own speaker
cabinets.
Let me point you to a document that is very good in explaining the design
choices in a cabinet for the bass frequencies.
