This is just a "for the heck of it" conversation, so don't bother asking what I'm trying to build. ;) Let's say you're designing the woofer and mid (cones) part of 3-way, and you want to align acoustic centers perpendicular to the ground, and you need a pretty significant difference from a flat baffle. What do you think about these strategies? The pink is absorption.
Yes, I know driver selection / crossover point / crossover slope / directivity strategy could play into some of these. That's fine. Just think about which one would work best for sort of 3-way you like (and let us know what you're thinking of), for example.
I've skipped the tweeter to keep it focused, and I've still called it a 3-way because I want to imply a fairly low crossover point.
