Thanks a lot for the feedback and your suggestions!
I sat down with the team and we decided to go with A, so that you can see all the drivers. There will be a cover similar to B as an accessories later on for people who prefer to hide the woofer below the horizontal groove – that gives it a more non-technical look.
As for the cable management that
@hardisj,
@jhaider &
@Glen20 asked for, I'm afraid there won't be a solution right from the start. All positions of the connectors are set and can't be moved. The only option would be some sort of cover for guide the cables.
Looking back on Model M1 while in home/non-professional use, people didn't like any external components. We had to relocate the electronics because it didn't fit into the speakers cabinet – but with Model M3 it did, so we took the chance to integrate it. We could also go for an external option again, but that would lead to 2x separate enclosures that are also bigger/higher (probably 1.5 U each).
