Baffle Step
In my opinion, baffle step compensation filters can be useful, but only for a fairly limited number of loudspeaker types. I think they are way overused in the DIY community. BSC filters are best suited for little mini-monitor speakers with small baffle...

Re: Advantages of getting a 3D speaker
If what you want is loudspeakers that create a very good illusion that sound sources seem to be coming from places matching what you're seeing on the screen, then I would suggest studying the topics of constant directivity, uniform reverberent field, Haa...

Re: Help me make the leap
Knowing that you want the imaging cues coming from a point source (as I do), why not use a point source for the midrange as well as the treble? I realize these comments are made in the array forum, but your comments beg the question.
There are so...

Here's the method I use to design this type of loudspeaker for uniform directivity and to set the position of the forward lobe:

Re: Pi 4s in basic black for Home Theater?
As with most things in audio, there are exceptions to every rule. Some rules, the exceptions are rare. Others, less so. This is one of those cases where exceptions aren't so rare, and in fact, I've found my speakers to sound better in some rooms with ...

Re: 7pi Plans
Yes, that's true. I noticed that I mislabeled that a while back, meant to change it and forgot. It's been labeled like that for a while.
About woofer sensitivity, I'd pad the midhorn and tweeter to match. You might build it as-is and measure to fin...

Information about π Speakers
I like the six π or seven π constant directivity cornerhorn speakers if the room has the right corners, or the three π or four π matched-directivity speakers if not. The eight π loudspeaker is sort of a budget hybrid model that also provides uniform dir...

Loudspeaker directivity, room coverage and imaging
I don't know that particular model of speaker but the right and left designations could be related to directivity. All speakers generate a sound field that has different spectral balance depending on the listeners position.
Most speakers are made to ...

Re: 4 Pi and 7 Pi bass response- More similar or different?
To me, they definitely sound more alike than different. All my speakers have basically the same tonal balance, and they're all designed to generate a uniform pattern. They all use the same tweeters and woofers, at least in "families" - three ...

Re: Advice on assessing stereo components
I love those Technics SL1200 tables and would encourage you in that direction, sure. As for picking speakers, I suggest to follow your eays. The hardest part there, in my opinion, is what sounds good in a fifteen minute demo may not sound good at all a...
