I'm currently designing a media area for a new construction loft-style apartment and will use 5 M33's (LCR + 2 rear surrounds). Primary use is movies and Trifield audio.

Room: Media area will be at the end of an open 24 feet x 60 feet space. The actual media space will be about 12 feet x 13 feet (9 feet ceiling) with the rear open to the rest of the apartment (60 feet long). One side is all glass. LCR speakers will be built-in into a Sheetrocked wall (niches will be cut out for the LCR M33's) on the narrow end of the room. Rear surrounds will be ceiling mounted behind the seats. Seat distance from front speakers is about 10 feet.

Any idea as to what the minimum cabinet enclosure clearance should be on all sides for the M33's to prevent excessive heat build up?

Thanks in advance.....gregg
