I am looking for a speaker for a home project. I have seen one but can't locate it now. It was for in-wall use and had a single dual voice coil woofer and two tweeters. Nothing was spaced far enough to get a stereo effect but both channels of audio were there. Anyone know where I can find such a beast? Thanks.

Re: Single stereo speaker
Can you mix the signal down to mono before amplifying it?
I'd imagine there would be some nasty cancellations from having both channels so close to each other.

Robert, I am not sure you understand the OP. Or I do not understand you.
Can you expound?

A little pricey. I know they used to have a generic one that was cheaper.

Re: Single stereo speaker
Well, since in a stereo mix both channels usually share some of the same information at the same level, wouldn't that shared information cause undesirable cancellations (comb filtering) if the speakers for both channels were right next to each other?

Re: Single stereo speaker
To the Tims, you got it and I was hoping for the generic one. Klaus, way cool but severe overkill. Basically I want to replace the speaker in an old Philco radio so it can be hooked up to the distributed sound in my house. Needless to say that the 50 year old speaker sounds less than stellar.

Re: Single stereo speaker
I would put the tweeters vertical to eliminate this possibility.

Re: Single stereo speaker
I think once we're talking about having "stereo" out of a single speaker with two close proximity tweeters, the comb filtering is the least of your worries. I suppose it probably sounds better mixed down in the air than mixed down electrically.

Re: Single stereo speaker
The whole idea is to have an option for a distributed speaker solution for small spaces. If you have a whole house system in stereo it doesn't make sense to knock two holes in a bathroom or entry way. These dual channel speakers are perfect for this. You get a left and a right and only one hole in the ceiling.
Alternatively I have used them for a dual program/stage managers call system for dressing rooms. Put the program feed on a volume control so the actors can turn it down if they want, but the SMcall won't be missed because there is no volume control on that channel. Works great like this.
Never seen this website before, but this is the speaker I remember. Its an audiosource brand.

Re: Single stereo speaker
Also, for home use these little 3" tang band speakers are pretty nice.

I have a pair in my living room right now and they get surprisingly loud. You could probably fit a pair of them side by side.

Re: Single stereo speaker
Wow! That's a great idea! I'll have to remember that. Although I've never liked them, I've used many of them in distributed residential audio for smaller spaces as described above. But I really like the dual program idea. Thanks!
