Wayne, what is your personal favorite Pi speaker?

description: Is it the speaker you use in your main home system? And if so what gear are you running it with? I just got curious after reading about the professional line with JBL components and doing some modeling. -Matt

description: The seven π cornerhorn has been my favorite loudspeaker for 25 years. I always say if you have the corners, use 'em.

description: I have a pair of Pro four π's as well as the sevens, and I like them a lot. I've always been fond of the Pro four π's. Another great sounding setup is to put the midhorn on top, essentially using the four π as the bass bin and having the mid and tweeter setup of the seven π. I also have a pair of tower two π's and I love them. I find myself listening to them a lot. When I developed the midhorns and was testing them, one of the last things I tried, an afterthought really, was to mount the Alpha 10 from the two π on the midhorn and use a large vented rear chamber. The prototype became the eight π, and I love that speaker too. I'm having a pair of those built in a special two-tone retro finish, hoping to have them done maybe by late summer. I keep the wood shop busy making 12π's right now, so the eight π's are on the back burner, but I'll definitely have them ready by GPAF 2007.

description: The idea of using the four π as the bass bin and having the mid and tweeter setup of the seven π is interesting. Does this setup still require corner placement? How does the the four Pi cabinet respond in the corners compared to the seven Pi cabinet? jd

description: No, the point of using the four π as the bass bin is to get around the requirement of using corners. If you have suitable corners, go with the sevens. If not, use fours. If the model of four π is slightly underdamped, like the Pro four π or Theater three or four π, then the speaker can be used in or near corners. If it has closert to a flat alignment like the Stage four π, then I'd suggest that it not be placed in corners unless the room is very large.
