Hey Charlie,
Thanks for the compliments.
Yes one could orient the baffle to favor height over width.
I stumbled onto some thing a while back with regards to speaker heights. Seems that part of what we would call our soundstage is to some degree at the effect to what our eyes see. I built the Decware /Imperials ,which are a very large speaker to have to look at while you are enjoying your music. I could never hope for them to dissapear acousticaly because they could never not be "onstage"
With the low, swept back aspect ratio of the Mini"s they just vanish before you ,leaving only the sounds to compete for your attention.
You sort of look above and beyond them, and this is where the performers seem to be.

I have reviews of them on the Decware forum.
And no they are not for sale!
