Hi Wayne: I was browsing your measurements folder and was a little surprised by the way the slope of the Pi Seven declines as frequency increases, and by the rapid rolloff of the tweeter at about 15KHz. Can you explain the reasons? I'm just trying to understand the likely sound prior to making the commitment to build, and I have been under the impression that generally speaking one aims for a frequency response that is roughly flat to 20KHz, and that some people are even aiming for much higher frequencies with supertweeters. Thanks, tim

OK, I understand the top end piece. What about the more gradual slope from 500Hz to 15KHz? Is that an intended balance, or just something that's too small to notice in real life? Sorry about the neophyte questions. I'm old enough that my top end hearing is probably done for - not sure if that means I need more or less from the high end of the speaker... tim

That's good to hear. I find it difficult to judge a design without hearing it - I just don't have enough experience. Thanks for weighing in. Have you heard the corner horns? Any other inputs about the sound and qualities of your speakers? tim
