Re: New HT - Need Advice on Speakers - 4pis or 7pis for main, 2pis, and what to use for bass
Answers by numbers:
1. The seven π cornerhorn is a constant directivity cornerhorn. The four π speaker is a matched-directivity two-way loudspeaker. The difference is that a constant directivity cornerhorn provides constant directivity from the Sch...

Re: 4 Pi Home Theater Build
Bass traps are effective, provided they actually absorb enough energy. Panel absorbers work best. They can be made as a false wall, and therefore can be somewhat inconspicuous.
Too bad you can't get more subs. Even just a couple more small car subs...

Re: 4 pi, oh my!
The 7° tilt angle you see in the photos of my setup was chosen largely because the first crossovers put the forward lobe angled downward slightly. Not much, like 5° or so. The nulls were about 15° above the speaker and 25° below. That's why I had stands ...

Re: 1pi or 2pi for surrounds?
The one π and two π models are equally competent as surrounds. But you're right, the two π has a little more in the ~60Hz range. In most cases, you can consider them to be equivalent when used as surrounds but there are a few situations where I'd proba...

Re: 3 Pi plans please and a Question or two
You've got mail!
100 watts is more than adequate - I run mine with 10 watts.
You can setup with them upside down if on high stands, but I think the front mains sound best when at approximately the same height as the screen, maybe even a smidge lowe...

Re: Stands for 2pi and 1Pi
I don't usually put my one π or two π speakers on stands. They always seem to end up on bookshelves or mounted to the wall. But there's no reason they can't be put on stands. They're light, so you'll have less problems with stability than larger speak...

Re: 3pi, smaller cab possible?
I dunno, man, it is one sweeet speaker. I wouldn't mess with it.
Of course, you can do just about anything you can dream up. But if you want the best results, you'll need to do your homework. Some modeling and testing would be in order.
To tell ...

Re: So how does this all work then..?
I think as long as you have baltic birch, your speakers will sound fine. They'll be lighter and more durable than MDF cabinets too.
I like to put four π speakers on 14" stands with 7° tilt back (pointed slightly upward 7°). The three π stand is...

Re: Active 3 PI
It's not that active crossovers aren't possible for this speaker. It's that you would need to do some work to optimize it. If you don't, then the passive crossover would be better.
I get asked this question a lot, at least a couple times a day, here...
