A multi-channel loudspeaker enclosure and display support stand incorporates left speaker system and right speaker system integrally in a winged center channel enclosure 16. The multi-channel “winged” loudspeaker system enclosure includes a plurality of loudspeaker drivers mounted within baffles defining a plurality of compartments or sub-enclosures. The loudspeaker system enclosure has “wings” projecting laterally from a central pedestal support. The wings define bottom surfaces which provide a virtually invisible location for down-firing left and right side mid-bass drivers 601, 620, 640 (see, e.g., FIG. 12). In the multi-channel “winged” loudspeaker system of the present invention, the center channel speaker units, left channel speaker units and right channel speaker units each include one or more speaker drivers configured and driven to provide superior acoustic summation with the down-firing midbass drivers and with an optional subwoofer placed in a separate enclosure configured as a pedestal support. |

1. A multi-channel loudspeaker system 400 with a winged enclosure 16, comprising:
(a) a first pedestal enclosure 30 having a front baffle or wall segment with a first selected width, said pedestal enclosure projecting upwardly from a base plate; wherein said base plate projects laterally to define a second width that is substantially greater than said modular base enclosure's first selected width; (b) an elongated second multi-compartment winged enclosure and loudspeaker system 16 with left and right side portions that project laterally to define a continuous upper surface and front baffle having a third width that is (i) substantially greater than said modular base enclosure's first selected width and (ii) configured with the upper surface dimensioned to provide support for a video or television display; (c) wherein said winged, multi-compartment enclosure 16 has a plurality of walls including an uppermost wall which defines the continuous upper surface extending laterally beyond the pedestal enclosure's left and right side walls to define laterally projecting left and right side wings terminating laterally in opposing winged enclosure left and right side walls, each extending from the winged enclosure front baffle or wall which opposes a winged enclosure rear wall and the uppermost wall opposes the lower wall, including laterally projecting left and right side winged enclosure lower wall segments, to define an enclosed volume which includes a plurality of sub-enclosures or compartments therein; (d) wherein said winged, multi-compartment enclosure includes at least
(i) a first center channel loudspeaker driver (e.g., 621) mounted in said front wall and aligned to project sound toward a user's position,(ii) a first left channel loudspeaker driver mounted in said front wall, to the left of said center channel loudspeaker driver 621 and aligned to project sound toward a user's position,(iii) a first right channel loudspeaker driver mounted in said front wall, to the right of said center channel loudspeaker driver 621 and aligned to project sound toward a user's position,(iv) a left channel mid-bass driver 601 mounted in said left side lower wall segment, to the left of said center channel loudspeaker driver 621 and aligned to project sound downwardly from a position that is laterally offset to the left from said pedestal's left side wall 46, and(iv) a right channel mid-bass driver 640 mounted in said right side lower wall segment, to the right of said center channel loudspeaker driver 621 and aligned to project sound downwardly from a position that is laterally offset to the right from said pedestal's right side wall. |
