> With the Adire solution, how will elevating the cabinet and pointing the bass port at the carpet with the cabinet stuck in a corner affect the sound?You can use the height to tweak tuning a bit. It's easy with the little screw on legs. I settled on 4", but 6" was OK. IIRC, my corner enclosure was around 3cuft at ~35-40hz, but the bottom port lowers this a bit. This is adjustable with the height. Also, I used a Heathkit A9 PP6L6, which effectively raises the driver Q a bit. (not as much as most SET)
> I though about a pseudo-horn at the bottom that basically acts a big flair for the bass port, but don't know how that would work.It makes more sense to me to use the enclosure itself to form the initial throat flair. See the link at the FR forum that GM pointed to below. You may have to register to look at the pictures.
If you ask nicely, you may be able to convince Wayne Pi or Dan Wiggins to suggest a box volume and tuning for corner placement and your room size. This is easy enough to do in LpsCAD.
