I haven't played around with the stuffing or the distance from the floor like what you are asking for, but whatever the height of a black diamond racing cone is is how far away they are from the floor.

I have tried them in two different rooms now, and they have worked well in both instances with wildly different placement. My house with near wall and corner placement, and at my buddy's house with traditional audiophile (several feet from all boundaries) placement. Beranek's law or not, it's a good cab.

I plan to make a nice looking version in the next couple of months. Nothing fancy like bamboo ply, but probably at least the highest grade of Fin/BB birch or ApplePly I can find.

Thanks! After surfing around I now realize that MLTL is a transmission line cabinet, but what is a black diamond racing cone?
