Waveguide mistake
type: item
description: I think I've made a mistake. I'd like to build a pair of 3 or 4 Pi speakers and was looking in to freight forwarders to make the cost of a pair of h290c waveguides more affordable when I spotted these on eBay and hit "buy now". I've since noticed the lack of a "c" in the description and can see they're different to the ones Wayne supplies. Will they work or do I need to bite the bullet and buy direct from Wayne? I'm in the UK by the way. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335566456738

description: That's the old Eminence H290 radial horn. It's a good horn, but our H290C waveguide is definitely an upgrade. Check it out: H290C Horn/Waveguide I think it's worth selling the Eminence horns and getting some of our waveguide/horns. In for a penny, in for a pound.

description: I can't decide between the 3Pi and 4Pi, it's easier to get the Eminence Delta pro 12 and B&C 12plb100 in the uk than it is the JBL 2226h. Is there much in it between the three woofers once they're in the respective cabinets?

description: The three Pi with the B&C woofer is pretty much equivalent to the four Pi with the JBL woofer. I have both, personally, in my home and love them both.

description: Thanks for the explanation about speakers and your website. I'll order waveguides and bare PCBs and go the easier route of the 3 Pi. Could I get the plans for the 3 Pi please

description: Certainly. The package is 24 x 8 x 8 inches, and weighs 7 pounds. That's 60cm x 20cm x 20cm and 3.2Kg.
