Kodomo, be advised that if you move your individual drivers
up and down then you need to do time realignment of your systems.
You finding about the “drivers need some space” is kind of controversial.
Let me to talk a little bit about the subjects. My experiments with the Macondo
topology suggested that the dependency to space for individual divers to a
great degree depending from the proximity of the entire speaker to boundaries.
For instance if a speaker is located close to the side or back wall (back was
is more critical) then you can feel very well the vertical position of the
drivers. It is not that more space is good or less space is good but rather you
do feel impact of moving drivers up and down. IF however a speaker is well acoustically
detached from the walls (let say it is 6-8 feet to the horns with diffusers on
the walls) then musing the driver up and down impact sound less. You still will
have impact in driver integration but it will be rather “equally good” then “one
better than other”.
A few words about your frequencies response. You have slightly
shallow response under 70Hz. That little peaks that you have at 70Hz masked it
out but it is there. With response like this you will not be able to get luxury
slow bass, you will not have proper “space” and your MF will have no lower harmonics
support. Take some crappy $50 subwoofer, set it in phase with 35Hz line up the
LF to be 2-3dB over the MF. Get the impact it make to the overall sound. Now,
get rid that crappy subwoofer and try to get the same response only by more honorable
means….
