I have the four 414s from a pair of Altec Carmels, and I'd like to move them into different cabinets. (The original horizontal Carmel cabinets are too large and unwieldy -- and that's just for starters.)
What is the ideal cabinet for dual 414s? And what is the smallest / shortest cabinet possible that would still be suitable? As these speakers are intended for a small (12' x 12' x 9') room, I'm wondering if a sealed cabinet might be better -- both sonically for this space, and for my size constraints (in that I should be able to use a smaller sealed cabinet -- right?)
If I can't reduce much smaller than the original Carmel or 9844 dimensions, then I'll likely lower my sights and use a single 414 per side in something like an Altec 614 cabinet.
Thanks for any suggestions or advice!
