Actually, I was exactly looking for something like that...a higher than Sonos quality table radio that looks nice.
I'm getting a bit too old to want massive booms and explosions

As blackie pointed out, that would have given a horrendous tuning situation. So far off the orig. design that I wouldn't even consider it a Voxel.

The Minion III drivers are used in the Minirigs speaker in very small aluminium cabinet with a claimed 70Hz low end. Check the minirigs.co.uk website.
I have their 2.1 portable set up and it absolutely rocks. The sub uses the 3” Tang Band sub driver with 48Hz low end.
The minirigs are omnidirectional when placed with the drivers facing upwards and you do get good sound. The upper octaves though are not very clear unless you are facing the speaker. You do need the sub to fill in the lower end.
Its amazing how they have managed to squeeze so much sound from so small an enclosure. The minirigs are in a 4” sealed circular cylinder about 3” long. The sub is a 4” ported circular cylinder about 8.5” long. Both have a claimed 80hrs battery life at low volumes.

The port I used for the sub was 268-322.
Hope that helps...

I was at my wife's grandparents house last weekend and just to test I took the lepai 2020 and wolf's pc speakers to see if there older flatscreen tv had variable volume output control and it did through 3.5mm hookup for headphones. They were very impressed with the sound and I would like to build them a 2.1 setup and what you have here looks great.
Thanks!
