Another solution is to build an angled front, tilting backward from the bottom to the top. This would allow you to mount the driver lower, but still be more-or-less on the axis of the tweeter output. My current speakers use E-V T350 tweeters. I have the boxes tipped backward against the wall, about 25 degrees. The center of the tweeter is about 22" from the floor. This provides great direct sound, as well as providing a better ambient sound since more of the HF energy gets around the room rather than being immediately absorbed by the carpeting and furniture. My next speakers will have tilted front baffles.:)

Agreed; my preference for point source drivers and use to recommend it, but I finally gave up years ago as no one TTBOMK would 'go the extra mile' woodworking wise.
Ditto building triangular shaped cabs, even when corner loaded was planned [with one notable exception]!
