greeting to gary and all members. newb here Smile

i had a chance to listen to a friend's khorns over the weekend and they were...STUNNING! as we were discussing the feasibility of acquiring/building horns for my small system, pi speakers was the first thing that he mentioned.

so i googled pi speakers, looked for the forum and here i am Smile.

my listening space (which doubles as a living room of sorts hehe) is challenging to say the least. a lot of clutter, a false corner, etc etc.

anyways, here are a couple of snaps...

length of the room is 14.5 ft and the wall at the back of the speakers is 10.25 ft.

my friend suggested that i check out either the 4 pi or the 8 pi.

wayne my first question would be, considering the small and cluttered listening area, will horns be a feasible replacement for my OBs? if there's something i miss in the khorns, it's the energy and emotion.

if all goes well, i will initially try to find a local source for the drivers (am from the philippines btw), otherwise i will need to order the kit and have the cabs done locally.

everyone's advice would be highly appreciated.


equipment:

altec 403a in OB (inspired by the JE Labs OB)
2a3 SE
12au7 pre
thorens td-320 and technics SL1200
12ax7 phono pre
sony 227esd cdp
diy dac tower (on loan from a friend)

thanks for looking

cheers

jay
