I see what you mean. I still would go for 10" or 8" drivers. I happened to love the scanspeak (make sure that it was exactly my model and the box is made probably: large and over-dumped) but if you do not like them then it is fine and you need to find your own drivers. Go with smaller drivers and larger amount, the foot print has been wasted already, so why do not go for 4 or 6 drivers per channel. Alternately you can just forget about putting the bass channels outside and keep them inside. It would not be end of the world, you will pay with less imaging, slightly lower 3D effect and slight diminished tone. There is another option. If it is your house and if you feel to do it then you can move the entrance door closer to the window. Then you will be able to put the right channel at the location where your door now and you will have the "long wall" effect. That is not too expensive to do and I think you can do it under $1K.
