Re: Pi 7 and pi 6
Both the six π and seven π cornerhorns have similar response, a slightly overdamped alignment which results in a gentle, gradual rolloff curve. This alignment is pretty room friendly, and tends to sound smooth in most rooms but, of course, some rooms ar...

Re: 3 Pi - Could it work for me?
I run a 10 watt Audio Note amp for my main home stereo and home theater. It's plenty for either model - three π or four π - but do remember the four π is 3dB louder. This isn't night and day, but it is noticeable. With 10 watts, I'd say either will pl...

Re: How Many Speakers For A Home Theater System?
Most home theater systems are for five channel, left/right/center and a pair of surrounds. Some are for seven channels, a left/right surround and a pair in the rear. Either of those configurations are pretty good for home systems, I think, with one spe...

Re: Versions and Upgrades
So how do you get gradual roll off like a sealed box, but using a ported box? It is just over damped? Is this a low "Q"?
Thanks.

Re: Build my own subs
I think that the number of subs required really depends on the environment and application, but you'll be hard pressed to find mains that can keep up with the 12π hornsub on a one-to-one basis. Usually, I see at least two mains flown for each sub. Some...

Versions and Upgrades
I agree with your assessment of the crossover. The new version (2007) is an incremental improvement over the original, not a night-and-day paradigm shift by any means. The basic design hasn't changed in many years. But having the latest version of the...

Re: 3pi/ 4pi plans
Stands are good for raising the sound source, particularly for smaller speakers. I think it becomes less necessary with larger speakers, and sometimes I use stands that are short enough they are probably best called angled risers. But sometimes even la...

Re: 4 Pi build for HT
I'd love to see NWCgrad's build pics too. As for the internal bracing, yes, of course, if you displace too much internal volume you can affect performance. So the obvious reply is "don't". It is designed to have an internal cross-brace and t...

Re: 4 Pi speaker stands?
The stands in that photo are 12" tall and have 7° tilt. There are lot of competent stand builders that can build to order. Most have standard sizes but will also custom build. They need to be a little larger than what some shops normally build bu...

Re: 4 Pi and 7 Pi bass response- More similar or different?
If you have the right corners, then sure, seven π cornerhorns are better, definitely.
They have two big advantages, first is the corner sets the pattern constant all the way down in frequency, clear down to the Schroeder frequency. This is where room...
