Claim 10

A stereo speaker support means in a cabinet comprising: a base member, said base member comprising a sound insulating horizontal panel; a top member, said top member comprising a horizontal sound panel; a back wall member, said back wall member serving to connect said base member with said top member; a first sound panel horizontally aligned with and positioned between said top member and said base member; a second sound panel horizontally aligned with and positioned between said top member and said base member; a first group of stereo speakers positioned between said top member and said first sound panel, said first group of stereo speakers being divergently aligned with respect to one another; a second group of stereo speakers positioned between said first sound panel and said second sound panel, said second group of stereo speakers being unidirectionally aligned; and a third group of stereo speakers positioned between said second sound panel and said base member, said third group of stereo speakers being divergently aligned with respect to one another; said first and third groups of stereo speakers being sealingly mounted in airtight triangularly shaped sound chamber means each packed with acoustical fiber glass and said second group of stereo speakers sealingly mounted in a rectangularly shaped airtight sound chamber means packed with acoustical fiber glass; said first and third groups of stereo speakers each including at least a first pair of parallelly aligned speakers which are orthogonally aligned with at least a second pair of parallelly aligned speakers; said first and second pairs of aligned speakers being positioned outwardly from said triangularly shaped sound chamber means and having vertically positioned sound insulating panels respectively disposed between said top member and said first sound panel and between said second sound panel and said base member; said second group of speakers including at least four unidirectionally aligned speakers, said second group of speakers being divergently aligned with respect to said first and third groups of speakers.

Claim 11

The stereo speaker cabinet as described in claim 8, wherein felt material is utilized to cover said top member, said first sound panel, said second sound panel, and said base member.

Claim 12

The stereo speaker cabinet as described in claims 1 or 8 wherein the speakers are dimensioned as equal sized speaker elements.

Claim 13

The stereo speaker cabinet as described in claims 1 or 8 wherein a lip portion extends rearwardly of the speaker support means for preventing it from coming into contact with other structures, the lip portion effectively serving to limit the distance between the cabinet and other structures.

Claim 14

The invention of claims 1 or 8 wherein the chamber means are each of comparable volumes.
