Is there such a thing as a Studio One Tower? I seem to remember seeing photos of such but I do not see it listed - are there plans available for it? Or is it just a figment of my imagination!

many Thanks Wayne.

Derek

Fred Thompson did a small tower speaker based on the one π and it looks and sounds very nice. Check with him and I'll bet he would be happy to send you the plans.

Can we talk a little more about the pros and cons of this design?

Well, it's a tower. So it's nice for places where floor space is at premium. It also puts the midwoofer and tweeter at ear level, even without a stand. But that also means the woofer is high enough that floor bounce affects midbass response. That's always the case with a two-way system though - If the midwoofer is two or three feet up, either by being stand-mounted or by being in a tall cabinet, then there is a reflector two or three feet away. Reflectors always cause a null at the frequency where they are 1/4λ from the source. So with stands or towers, you gain a little and you lose a little. Midrange is at ear level, but bass is too so floor bounce comes into play.
