Is there a problem with this?

Decided to combine my main sets of speakers into one rig, saving some floor space. Is there any potential problem with this???

Only if Santa mistakes it for a chimney in the dark.

Hmmm. The only potential problem I see there is tinnitus.

Wow--that rig makes your Model 19's look tiny! I'm not an expert but off the top of my head I'd say one potential problem would be that this setup puts quite a distance between your bass horn on the floor and your multi cell. If I remember right, this is a very large room that you've built so as long as you're sitting back a good distance from your speakers hopefully it will be fine. Not a good set up for a small room of course if you're sitting 10 feet from the speakers.......

EDIT: Personally, I usually like my h.f. horns and/or tweeters at ear level or tilted to point up or down towards ear level. This setup does presumably put your h.f way above (seated) ear level. I guess you could tilt/point them down a little or maybe if you're seated back far enough it's not a problem......

I'm proud of him.

Dont be surprised if the airport calls to complain about the noise.
There is enough sound there for a small colosseum and thats just for ONE channel!
I dont see how you could miss anything even if they were facing the wall.

Just my .02dB

There's at least 20+' between the speakers and the closest listening seat. Been doing a lot of listening and so far there's not a lot of separation between the HF and LF. This was my main concern. I'll tell you what, it wasn't easy getting that stuff up there....
