Re: Here I'm again
I'd be happy to send plans - on their way now - check your mail.
On the subs, no, don't high-pass the mains. This is a different strategy than what is traditionally done.

Home Theater Setup
Honestly, I don't like making the center channel speaker different than the left and right speakers. If you can't make them the same, I'd prefer not to even use a center speaker. Use a phantom center instead. You can configure the home theater this wa...

Re: 3 pi speaker
The Econowave is a good basic design, fundamentally the same thing as the three π and four π loudspeakers it was based on. That said, I'd stick with one of the stock π model loudspeakers. They are designed and optimized for the drivers and horns chosen...

Re: Where To Learn More?
I suggest CARA. There are online room calculators, but they only show the frequencies where standing waves are produced, not the positions of the nulls and peaks. At low frequencies, i.e. first axial mode, they line up pretty evenly. But above that, s...

Re: Multiple Speakers
The multiple subwoofer technique is done to smooth room modes, not to "make more bass". There is some information about it in the document below, last few pages (including references to several other papers on the subject):

Re: pi seven top horns?
The bass bin of the π cornerhorn has remained unchanged since it was introduced in 1980, but the midrange and tweeter have changed over the years. I've used direct radiating mids and horn-loaded mids, and for a few years even experimented with making th...

High-Fidelity Uniform-Directivity Loudspeakers Whitepaper
I've written a whitepaper on waveguides and constant directivity loudspeakers available at the link below. Seems like I've often gotten the same questions and comments over the years, and I've tended to reply with a list of links to documents and messag...

Re: Constant directivity verses on-axis EQ for non-uniform directivity (aka baffle step filters)
Glad it was helpful. I hope it made sense and wasn't too abstract.
I find myself getting a lot of the same questions and comments over the years, and I tend to link to past posts in reply. I had a list of about a dozen posts that sort of covered the...

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.
Imaging, placement and orientationAbout corner placement - I'm not against putting subs in corners but I'm definitely against putting a single sub...

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...
