What is the different between Pi4 and theater4?
I'm using a 5w tube amp and my room is approx: 5m by 6m
Which speakers is more suitable for my room?

The Theater Series four π used an Eminence Delta 15 in an 8ft 3 cabinet. I've condensed the line down to just one version of each model, and the one listed is the one that used to be called the Professional Series four π, containing a JBL 2226 in a 3ft3 cabinet. An Eminence Omega 15 can also be used in this model.

Thanks for your reply Wayne.
Due to budget constraint I'm thinking of using Eminence Delta15 and B&C DE250 for now and will be upgrading to Omega15 or JBL driver in the future.
Which cabinet(Pi4 or Theater4) gives the flexibility of using all the three divers?

No cabinet supports a swap between a Delta 15 and an Omega 15 or JBL 2226. They're very different woofers. You can swap a JBL 2226 for an Omega 15, but not for a Delta 15.

Thanks again for you reply, Wanye.
Is it possible to share both the Pi4 and Theater4 speakers plan?
How about the crossover plan for the both the speakers?
I'll be using B&C DE250 for HF.

Master

Wayne,

Totally unscientific, but I was able to downsize my oversized 4Pi boxes by lining the interior with styrofoam insulation. Seems to
have worked out OK. Light weight, plenty solid, reversable.
