The proliferation of home theater has changed the audio industry landscape. The addition of more channels has stretched the capability of amplifiers, processes and speakers in an environment now requiring as many as nine loudspeakers (right and left front, sides, rears, front height and front center) in a room. Mixing surround material has also changed over the past decade in both the music and motion picture industries and a diffuse surround layout appears to have lost favor.
Given these changes, has there been any thought of developing a smaller format constant directivity two-way for use in the secondary channels? Hsu Research has a small in wall horn-loaded two-way that I've heard in a few systems and the DIY Sound Group has a few smaller systems available, but loudspeakers sharing the same tonal and spacial qualities the large Pi models would pe preferable. Perhaps a "super" 1 or 2Pi?
