Hmmm.. sounds like there are plenty of opportunities for experimentation there Alan. i wonder if any of the companies that have tried this in the past have tried to remove the colorations by flush mounting the drivers, and using a molded face plate that could slightly deflect or refract the sound waves as they come out. I'm picturing a small (1/8" - 3/8" tall) "mountain range" type of arrangement encircling the driver on the face plate to "ease" the offending sound waves away from the wall in a controlled manner. There has to be something that can be done to alleviate the effect of the wall.

I wonder if anyone has tried making the entire face plate concave, (either rounded like a salad bowl, or flat like the inside of a funnel) and mounting the driver slightly behind the wall.
