Re: Pi Studio One Tower
I like the whole concept of the 2.5-way speaker very much. It's the best and most natural way to resolve baffle step, in my opinion. Of course, that means running the lower "helper" woofer up to the baffle step frequency.
This brings me to...

Re: 3pi update / 6pi build
That's an excellent idea. Highly encouraged!
I think you would probably get deeper bass from a driver like the LAB12. But flanking subs are mostly for the upper midbass anyway, for providing baffle step correction, and for mitigating SBIR and higher...

Re: Futzing with vibration control
It's an interesting observation, isn't it Barry?
You know, in the 1980s and 1990s, I used only solid-state amps. I was quality conscious, so I used good equipment but none of it was tube gear. So I was familiar with these speakers on amps that could...

Re: 3Pi and 4Pi Plans Request
I think if you peruse the Pi Speakers FAQ and do searches here in the forum, you'll probably find all the answers to any questions you might have.
In particular, you might want to read the H290C Horn/Waveguide thread. It discusses the benefits of tha...

Re: Radian 475PB
That's awesome, Bruce! The forward lobe is right where you want it to be! Nulls roughly equally spaced and far apart, outside the vertical beam.
As for the nearby boundaries - side and rear wall - give a helper woofer setup a try. It will provide t...

Re: Finish up a pair of 4pis
Yeah, I know. Many of those speaker designers are my friends. The ones that tend to be most interested in edge diffraction - beyond the baffle step - those that are concerned with the more subtle effects tend to be the same designers that are intereste...

Re: Finish up a pair of 4pis
These are absolutely gorgeous, Jensen.
The facet that extends beyond the front baffle reminds me of a pair of vintage EV speakers I had for awhile. My only concern is that it might impact sound propagation in some way. Baffle step or the like? Does...

Re: 3Pi or 4Pi?
The three π model is slightly larger than the four π, that's true. Both have similarly sized baffles though, and they're large enough that baffle step happens right about the Schroeder frequency. So below the baffle step, we're in the room's modal regi...

Re: Three Pi and Three Pi Sub Plans
I've always loved ribbon tweeters too. Back in the 1970s, the EMIT tweeters in Infinity speakers were oh-so sweet to me. They offered much greater extension than compression drivers of that era. But they lacked dynamic range. They were relatively fra...

Re: Three Pi and Three Pi Sub Plans
Hi, Wayne.
After trying a few positions, I just couldn't get my subs far enough behind or below my 3Pis and ended up with a huge hump in the 80-120hz region using a 12db/octave 100 hz crossover on the sub. Ultimately I decided to just stack the mains on...
