Making a Small and beautiful but powerful and dynamic speaker for home cinema use designed look as good as it performs.
Just like the iconic mini Cooper of the car world!

Reason to make : my wife would only accept something worthy enough to be visible in our bedroom.

The LCRs will be hidden behind an Acoustically transparent screen.. but there's no way I can hide the surrounds.
And no plain black box of any size will be accepted by her to be placed on the wall ( for surrounds)

Specs: this must be used with a crossover at or above 80hz.
Driver : 6.5" wide dispersion Coaxial(110° nominal)
Sensitivity : 93dB/w/m into 8 ohms
Max SPL: 110dB continuous, 116dB peaks
Max SPL at 13 feet from speakers : approx 102dB continuous, 106dB peaks.

Finish : yet to be decided.
Do share you opinion. :)
And Stay tuned for further updates ;)

Great stuff, @prateekatasniya !
AV gear in the bedroom requires diplomacy with the Home Minister, and you seem to have cracked it :)
I would personally recommend white/off-white, as it blends in better with the walls. In our case (see below), it also went well with the rest of the furniture.
