Bass response is improved using this configuration, and since the mid/hi horns also have 90o dispersion, this makes all sound sources have the same pattern. It also reduces side wall reflections since the coverage angle is within the confines of room boundaries. It's like the walls become extensions of the flare instead of acting as reflectors. So the first reflections are those from opposing walls.

If you have the option of using corners, I strongly suggest you try this approach. I think you'll be very satisfied.

I've got an air tight wood stove in the middle of the wall I have the Pi's sitting on, and the rack with the electronics as well.

I put the rack with the electronics right beside the speaker and slightly forward so as to not block the open area the bass moves out of. The wood stove doesn't seem to interfere.

Your Fostex sounds interesting. The biggest difference I would expect would be the ease with which the Pi's fill the room/ major parts of the house with clean sound. You didn't mention what size of room you are putting them in. Big is good.

Enjoy.

>>where I was given a dedicated room...

We need to start a Spouse/ Significant Other Hints section and you can be moderator. ;-)

I made some sacrifices so my listening room isn't dedicated. The pool table isn't all bad though.

Enjoy.
