I have decided to go with 7Pi instead of 8Pi. Can I use Magnum instead of Omega woofers? Do you sell Magnums or should I get them from Parts Express? Can you send plans for the Magnum Pi7? Thanks in advance, Kevin
Hi Kevin, I've sent plans to you for the Audiophile Series seven π which uses the Magnum 15HO and the for the Audiophile seven π-18 which uses the Magnum 18HO. They do, in fact, use the same cabinets as are used for the Omega, Kilomax or JBL Professional Series drivers. Note that the π cornerhorn containing a JBL 2245 and 2123 used to be known as the Audiophile Series seven π-18. This has been changed, and it is now known as a Professional Series seven π-18. It seemed better slide this speaker into the Professonal Series line, since that is specifically identified as those containing JBL Professional Series components. So the π cornerhorn with a JBL 2241, 2242 or 2245 woofer and a JBL 2123 or 2120 midrange is now called a Professional Series seven π-18.
