Where are the pics? I saw 1 review on DIYSG but haven't seen a pic in the wild of a single one.

Surely someone has built these. :confused:

That's unfortunate. And with all the demand for horizontal centers (among the guilty) to go with the DIYSG designs surprising to me as well.

I hope you're able to re-purpose the investment into other existing/new designs if they don't sell as the 1010.

Looks like the HTM 1010 is pretty similar to the Cinema 10.... finally, a horizontal Cinema 10??!?!

The one review was in September. I don't think these have been on the site very long.

I could be wrong, but I think a center channel with 10" woofers, making it 12+" high is too big for most folks' living rooms. Not an issue for dedicated theaters, but many of them can use vertical centers.

Don't get me wrong...time and effort was put into the design and I hope it sells well. I just feel like a lot of folks who require a horizontal center are limited on height.

I'd like to see a quad 6.5" design 2.5 way, which would keep the height under 8". Capability should be better than an MTM 8" woofer design, and just a little under a dual 10" center. Sensitivity should be crazy good with four 93 dB or so woofers(99 dB). Cost should be reasonable when you compare to something like the Klipsch RC-64 III which sells for $1500 and is only 93 dB. If I thought I had the time and ability to invest in such a project, I'd do it myself. But I fear I'm lacking on both departments.

coupla things . . .

" making it 12+" high is too big "

BLASPHEMY , Yeah! . . .
No . . .
though it could be a personal call. . .

and a pair also at only 6+' from the MLP,
very convincing as surrounds- with some a aiming and such

Breaking Bad , the BD disks and the upmixed sound-

totally

reviving ( only) the F4Q4 make take some sleuthing about- designer is Curt Cambell
no doubt he has all specs, etc.
which leaves pretty much just basic carpentry/ router work for the baffle
I'd love to get another for the mancave CC,
tho the F6 has no complaints

we need a Sherlock . . .

Erich said they were having difficulties finding an 8 inch driver that would work for the HTM center channel speaker so that is why the 10 inch driver and the box ended up being 12 inches high.


For a build and review of a lower profile DIY center (9 inches high and you might be able to shave that down a bit) and quad 7 inch woofers with a tweeter and mid-range drivers:

Unfortunately, kit doesn't come with cabinets.

Some graphs on page 4. I assume more details are available if you actually buy the kit :)

Nice job on the speaker. I like the texture paint too.

But I have to wonder, can you swap the 7x7 waveguide with say a 8” SEOS and make a vertical LR MTM for a matching set of three? I see the htm and the 1010 both use the 325 tweeter.....

I think the 7 x 7 is the same depth as the SEOS-8, but would need to double check because it's been a while since I had them made up. It uses the same internal curve as all the other SEOS models and it also allows for the speaker to be used horizontal or vertical.

I can't believe I've had those 2 sizes for center channel speakers but haven't done much of anything with them yet. :eek:

I’d like to understand the design process that went into this one. The 2.5 way concept seems interesting- what do the crossover slopes look like? Are there frequency response and polar plots floating around? Just curious about how it works, and what led to the 10in woofer prescription.

I agree with the Bear123 the overall height will be a tough sell for those looking for a truly horizontal form factor.
In a Typical living room environment you don’t have a large window of opportunity..... That said, I could fit the 1010 into my setup, if I raised my TV 2in.


Worth it to get a complete LCR of HTM family products?

Agreed, I was hoping for an 8" version myself.
