Re: 3-Pi Speaker plans
Gotcha. The standard "studio" bookshelf size models are great for surrounds. They also work great in a small office or bedroom where space is at a premium. But they do lack the lowest bass frequencies.
The two π tower provides deep, full ...

Options in a nutshell
It's all about the midrange, when you're talking differences between the JBL 2226 and the Eminence Omega 15 in the four Pi loudspeaker. The Omega 15 sounds very good, powerful yet still natural sounding. But it isn't as good as the JBL woofer. The 222...

Re: 4 pi, oh my!
They're a very easy load for tube amps. High efficiency and benign impedance curve. Perfect for tubes.
They are intended to be built and used in mirror images. This is mostly for aesthetics but there is a very small oblique tilt in the position of ...

Re: Jumping the gun, but a few questions
I don't suggest deviating from the plans unless you are prepared to do a lot of measurements and go through a full design/test cycle. Some modifications can be done with little impact but most can't. Making the cabinet significantly larger changes the ...

Re: Best choice for my set up
If you want all-out best, use six π or seven π cornerhorns if you can put them in corners, or three π or four π mains if corner positioning isn't possible. If using three π or four π speakers, put them on stands to get them up to the level of the screen...

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?
Personally, I think the 2.5-way will probably work better than an MTM for a loudspeaker like this. Remember that the "M" in "MTM" stands for midrange, and it is best done with small drivers, keeping the driver spacing tight. You can...

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: 3pi/ 4pi plans
Stands are good for raising the sound source, particularly for smaller speakers. I think it becomes less necessary with larger speakers, and sometimes I use stands that are short enough they are probably best called angled risers. But sometimes even la...
