Re: 4pi
Vented, definitely. It uses an overdamped alignment that gives you a nice gradual rolloff, smooth and easy to match with subs. You get a little more extension too, making more blending region for better smoothing using the multisub approach.

In-wall flush mounting
All of my speakers respond well to this kind of placement. They are all designed to be used in quarter-space or eighth-space, and I don't use baffle step compensation filters. My thinking has always been that the baffles are rather large, so the transi...

Re: 2-Pi Tower floorbounce
Oh, yes, you'll see it in measurements. If you lay the speaker on it's side, the notch is gone because the midwoofer is closer to the ground, shifting the self-interference notch up in frequency. Of course, you see anomolies at higher frequency when yo...

Re: Pi 4.5 possible?
Hi, Wayne.
I was originally going to build the Pi4 as is as my next DIY project. These would replace my current left, center and right speakers. I also run a twin vented 18" subwoofer system with two more 18" drivers in storage. I plan to ...

Re: Pi 4.5 possible?
We've discussed this approach several times, and I think it's a good idea but I think the multisub approach is even better. Of course, you can employ both approaches but if you have to chose one, I'd go multisubs. Take those "helper" woofers ...

Re: four π, seven π, multisubs
Multisubs improve the sound of any system, regardless of the quality of the mains. I would rather have four π speakers with multisubs than seven π speakers without. Of course, I'd rather have seven π speakers with multisubs, given the right room layout...

Re: 4Pi crossover issue
Smooth bottoms is what really drove the decision against plate-through holes on the crossover boards. Even if you cut off the sharp edges when removing the leads from soldered components, you'd still have the thickness of the solder joints which wou...

Re: Pi 7 and pi 6
Hi Dom - given that you are already using a large pair of Tannoy's I would expect any bass issues to be the same as you currently are experiencing! As for me, going back over the whole process, the bass problems were more than just room based.
The ...

Re: three π speakers at LSAF 2010
Same speakers as yours, just with that really sexy TD12S. Night and day there, you might spring for a set of upgraded woofers if you can.
As for stands, I usually don't put them on stands unless I'm running subs. This prevents floor bounce and gives...

Re: Pi 7 and pi 6
Both the six π and seven π cornerhorns have similar response, a slightly overdamped alignment which results in a gentle, gradual rolloff curve. This alignment is pretty room friendly, and tends to sound smooth in most rooms but, of course, some rooms ar...
