The article that lays out the original design and the guy who created them was published in "Popular Science" in the early 1960s. I have that article around here, somewhere, but I will have to dig to find it. Generally they used a single full-range speaker in exactly that angle and position.
The enclosures can be scaled up and down by the do-it yourselfer. For example you could build a small 4" driver version out of 1/2 inch plywood.
The part I didnt know is that a company, Lafayette, actually built these as a commercial design at one point. All of the versions I am familiar with have been DIY.
IIRC I built an enclosure of the same design using a 4 inch speaker when I was about 16 years old--tho that is a long time ago LOL.
