The curved sides and lack of a flat rear wall minimize front to back standing waves. So long as you keep the overall volume, and front baffle dimensions,this should be fine.
Per Troel’s discussion page it seems like the driver doesn’t like sealed.
The crossover is mounted external to the speaker cabinet to minimize the possibility of microphonics in the crossover components. I like the idea of an external crossover as a stand, but A) I don’t know if it really helps anything at all to use an external crossover and B) I prefer high tech footers like IsoAcoustics has.
As Troels notes however, these are not floor speakers, even with the crossover case. They need elevation and space to the sides to sound their best.
Strongly encourage you to continue this discussion at DIY where you’ll find lots of dedicated speaker builders. :)
