I'd like to use an ACI Emerald(shielded mini-monitor, rear-ported, 11"h, 7"w, 7"d)on its side as a center-channel speaker. Is it acceptable to place it just above the TV in an enclosed cabinet area of 14"w x 10"h x 24"d? I'm kind of locked in to this position since the cabinet is custom and permanent. The front- and rear-channels are away from cabinet and wall boundaries. I think I'll like the Emerald because it seems to closely match the voicing and design of my fronts (VA Bachs), but I'm a little concerned about the port in an enclosed shelf. Would a sealed-box design work any better in this application?
Follow Ups:
1. That the centre speaker matched in sonically with the stereo pair. The sealed or vented bit would be irrelevant, it is the midrange you would need to match carefully to avoid wierd effects - lots of postings about this, use the AA search engine. One test could be to borrow an ACI Emerald and replace one of your VA Bach units & judge how well they matched on stereo sound.2. The magnet of the speaker was not so close to the CRT TV tube that magnetic interference occurred.
Peace at AA
John
