I've become very intrigued with LA approach, but I'm not willing to commit the money and space for a full-sized, floor to ceiling project. Thought I'd get some feedback on the merits of a mini desktop LA project.

What I have in mind is LA about 22" high, sits on a desktop as computer speakers, and used for nearfield listen (approx 24" from speakers). Drivers would be 6 Hi-Vi B3S and single tweeter on each side. Kind of like a mini variation of Jim Griffin's Needles. I'm consider the Hi-Vi vs the Tangbands used in the Needles primarily due to cost. The TB's have increased in cost in the past years and I don't consider them to be the value they once were.

Is the LA approach scaleable to allow for a mini desktop model like this? Would I still be able to experience LA benefits in a mini model or should I just save my money and time?

thx,
Gar.
