Re: Soffit (Flush Mount) Reference Speakers
I would suggest simply building the speakers as designed and mounting them in the wall. If you can close the gap so the wall is the baffle, that's great but as long as the gap is small it is acoustically invisible.
Radiating into half-space does incr...

Re: Soffit (Flush Mount) Reference Speakers
We don't offer any single driver loudspeaker kits, so I'm not sure if this will help. But if you're looking for monitors that offer uniform directivity, I can help.
All models of π Speakers are available as kits, which include the speaker drivers, th...

Re: Best choice for my set up
I use a phantom center channel. Toe-in so the right and left axes cross just in front of the listeners.

Re: My Pi 4 Speakers
Welcome to the world of uniform directivity and thanks for posting the photo!
Have you tried crossing their forward axes, toeing them inward like described in the posts below?

Re: Pi2 and woofer directivity
The one π, two π and two π tower speakers are popular for three reasons: (1) They sound good, (2) are inexpensive and (3) efficient. They provide plenty of good, balanced sound with little power input and they don't cost a lot. Their impedance curve i...

Bad juju
No way, that's a bad combo.
One of the things that makes π magic is its uniform directivity. The forward lobe is nice and smooth, uniform in the horizontal and vertical planes. One of the requirements for this to occur is directivity must be matched...

Crossover optimization for DI-matched two-way speakers, revisited
I usually fine-tune the position of the forward lobe by adjusting the low-pass circuit slightly. I know within about 10° where the centerline of the forward lobe will be before I start, because of mathematical models or previous design efforts or both. ...

Re: Upon further investigation..
Again, I think the 2.5-way approach is a good idea but think multisubs are better. Of course, you can always do both.
The thing is, when building speakers, the thing that separates the decent DIY efforts from the really sweet speakers is the amount o...

Woofer size for uniform directivity loudspeakers
Personally, I wouldn't go to a 10" driver. In my experience, there is too much midrange off-axis, and it makes a bad directivity match. Also, they usually don't have high enough sensitivity for my tastes unless tuned as a dedicated midrange. For ...
