Post Subject: Full-time quarter-space environmentPosted by jessie.dazzle on: 6/17/2010

To my understanding, taken individually, your attic horns would be more obviously working in a half-space environment. For any output that is common to both the L and R channels (some in the case of stereo recordings and all in the case of mono), they would effectively be working as a single horn, in which case they could be considered to be working in a quarter-space environment. To ensure a full-time quarter space environment you could extend the dividing wall (the wall between the two horns) out along the apex of the ceiling. This will not ruin your living room if the dividing plane were made from a single suspended piece of plate glass, without a frame.

Does your attic offer the possibility to make the horns longer?
