if I went for an enclosure, I'd attempt a wedge shape

Minis don't have bass frequencies with (their geometrically increased need for size & structural energy) which to contend.

However, planars in general sound (at least to my ears) more sensitive to enclosures than traditional magneto-dynamic dome & cone drivers.

So, I'd use lessons learned from less "boxy" sounding conventional speakers. I'd see if the midrange could be housed in something resembling a sealed version of a Bowers & Wilkins N805... keeping the true-ribbon tweeter separate lest the midrange hastens the tweeter's demise by mistreating the it as a passive-radiator.
