Re: Just scored a pair of 3pi speakers!
Since last Thursday? Still VERY happy. I put the MG1.6s back in the mix on Sunday and was surprised when I found myself itching to get back to the 3Pi. The Maggies strike me as having a more extended and clearer top end, and definitely more oompf d...

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: Just scored a pair of 3pi speakers!
Wayne - thanks for charts.
Tom-m - I have now had a chance to get the 3pis better positioned and spent a little more time with them the past couple nights.
First off, I am very impressed... it is a rare occurrence when I drop a new speaker into the...

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...

Re: Multiple Subwoofers
I agree in all aspects except the points of asymmetry and number of corner sources. I realize you know my position in this matter but I'll restate just in case other readers don't.
There are two schools of thought on this, one championed by Todd Welt...

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...

Cornerhorns and constant directivity
You're about right. I wouldn't expect much directivity control below 500Hz in freespace. The corners set the pattern for a couple octaves below that. In my opinion, this is the biggest benefit from corner placement: It gives the loudspeaker designer ...

Re: 4 Pi and 7 Pi bass response- More similar or different?
SET is an abbreviation for single ended triode. FET is field effect transistor. I was trying to describe the difference as being like a high quality Class A tube amp compared with a high quality Class A solid state amp.
Both are detailed, both s...

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 ...
