I don't think it will fit in Amir's Klippel. Have to resort to other approaches to get the spin o rama data. :)

I'd like to set up an Atmos system with it.

Sort of dishonest naming however. The Krakatoa volcanic eruption produced approximately 180 db sound levels 100 miles away.

18" midbass
https://www.parts-express.com/B-C-1...pFLAa-f5EF9-mAcXst5pYf4qdtCbcI0mpZQ4Z2eJgaC0V, $1 078,13 or https://en.toutlehautparleur.com/triaxial-speaker-b-c-speakers-18htx100-8-8-8-ohm-18-inch.html, €901 - quite affordable driver for DIYing desktop speakers. And add a sub(s) under the table.
If one does not have such a large table, two small tables can be used.
