I have finally moved into my new apartment and to my dismay, discovered that the only place my system will fit is in a 12'x16' room, with the system on the 12' wall.

I currently have a pair of old Magnavox horn speakers that appear to have been made in the 1960s. They have a 12" woofer on an alnico magnet in a sealed cabinet, and a 1" compression tweeter behind a exponential horn. They were probably theater speakers, since I cant seem to find any info on them.

But I digress...I wanted to build a pair of Theater 4Pis, however their size seems to be an issue. The Magnavox horns are around 20" high x 15" wide (sortof like the Klipsch Heresy), which seems fine for the room. However the 24" width of the Theater 4Pi seems like it will be too much for my small room. Is there anything I can do about this? Or should I just listen to my old Magnavox horns for the next few years? Surprisingly they sound fantastic - I picked them up for $15 at a thrift shop, and put around $10 in fixer upper parts...but I am itching to build something myself...
