About those panels? What is the product? Where could I buy some? Brand? Their thickness? (questions, questions)

My home studio project will be needing something like this in large quantities...

Hi Bill, I presume that is the new ariston table? Nice Speakers by the way...what are they? I a think it looks like a Pi 4 (jbl and altec?) with a super tweet in the martinelli flares? Please elabotrate on their components. Now I see your Sand boxes, I am considering the same for the A7s or 7 pis if I ever get the cabs built...I have the drivers ready.

Thanks, russellc

James,
I have Stage 4Pi's also. They sound fine in my large main listening room. I have also tried them in 12'x18' room as the left/right speakers in a home theater setup. Here of necessity I had to set them off the floor a couple of feet on the bottom section of a floor standing bookshelf/entertainment center(biggest bookself speakers I have ever seen!) They actually sounded very good off the floor a few feet. I had the advantage that the left speaker had an large open door way right at the first reflection point. The same speakers on the floor in my untreated rec room sound boomy and harsh. The room is indeed very important. If you haven't already tried it I would definitely experiment with angling them in from the corners and raising them a couple feet off the floor. Some room treatment on side walls could also go a long way towards improving things.

I'm guessing the panels are by Owens-Corning but I haven't been to see them, just called. My local dealer is UBC stores all over the mid-West. I'll let you know as soon as I pick them up.

The crossover is Speakermans take on Wayne's Pi crosover, and I fooled with attenuation and arrived at 32 ohms and .47uF. The 811B horns are now decorative 'cause good as they are Bill Martinelli's Woodhorns kill them with the 806A drivers.

I thought CD's sounded good; I had no idea how great they would sound until I started playing vinyl again.

Oh, I see. The extra 811 threw me! Boy, I know what you mean about the vinyle...thrilling fun to listen to. I have always enjoyed the turntable, something about the mechanical nature is very appealing to me as a component. And then the thrill of the vinyle hunt. I would love a set of Bill M's horns if I ever get the pi7 cabs built/bought. Very nice speakers there!

Russellc
