First up can I add my compliments (to that of everyone else's) to Jed for his customer service. Jed has developed for me a custom cabinet design to suit my proposed HT. I wanted to use the 1S for surrounds but wanted the cabinet 'flat' so it could sit against, or in, the wall. Jed has done a crossover to suit on-wall placement, which is now mentioned on his website. So Jed redesigned the 1S for me. You can get an idea of its dimensions from the pictures. (It's about 42" tall). ...

He drew up a box design and modeled the response. Jed's comments after testing: "FR in room with a large gate, so reflections take part below 300hz. The small dip at 200hz is a room side wall reflection, and will not really be there in most situations etc. But still, it is amazingly flat from 200hz up to 20k!"
