Re: 1pi or 2pi for surrounds?
Above 200Hz, your chart is pretty close to what I measure from the little one π speakers. They're flat up top, with gradually reduced bass below a couple hundred Hertz. By 65Hz or so, they're really pretty much done, although in your case, a room mode ...

three π verses four π
I tend to try and refrain from giving my subjective opinions on the comparisons between the JBL 2226 used in the four π speaker and the AE TD12S used in the three π speaker. I just think too highly of both models. I don't hesitate to point out the bene...

Re: Brainstorming my speaker strategy
You're definitely on the right track with the four π mains and multisubs. They are a significant upgrade over what you have right now. They're as loud as those Cerwin Vegas and much, much cleaner. No offense, those CVs are good party speakers with ple...

Re: Start with a standard Pi ...
Forget the mods unless you want to go through a complete design/test/refine/retest design cycle. I've spent literally hundreds of hours refining each model, and that's after three decades of developing this design type. It just doesn't make sense to th...

Room modes, multisubs and flanking subs
When I first considered the multisub approach, it was prompted by papers written by Todd Welti. He did several tests that showed in-room amplitude response could be made smoother using multiple subs, and gave specific guidance about placement. His favo...
