driven primarily by Asian markets but applicable to anyone is a series of narrower SL models using fewer "cells". Since they are inherently modular in construction, virtually any configuration is possible.
While the primary variable is height, previous models were usually seven flat cells across. Now there are three, four and five cell models to accommodate smaller rooms. Height usually isn't a challenge which is why I run narrow vintage Acoustat 1+1s in the home theater.
A number of variations are found here from largest to smallest full range models including the addition of thicker diaphragm subwoofer. The new models continue to support the three frame options of basic wood, furniture grade wood and rigid tubular steel. The "Build" link takes you through the selection process.
Wide dispersion speakers normally create "comb-filtering" problems
Dispersion per se really isn't the driving cause. Rather, it is typically found where multiple drivers (especially when widely spaced) cover the same frequency range where there is overlap with an apparent delay in radiation of a given frequency. Stacking conventional speakers (like Double Advents) is a common cause where the tweeters end up far apart. Even tightly spaced ones can potentially exhibit comb effects.
By contrast, Sound Lab's single diaphragm full range approach obviates that challenge. And due to their controlled directivity, they are designed to be used in arrays to further increase lateral or vertical coverage. How about using ten 22 degree 9' tall models ? ;)
