I want build universal speakers for modern music (trance) and for jazz maybe you can describe in a few words differences between 4pi and 7pi. I mean to compare 4pi and 7pi in different styles of music.

The tonal balance is the same, but constant directivity cornerhorns have an advantage in that they do not suffer coloration from early reflections like all other forms of speakers do. They are acoustically close enough to nearest boundaries to act as though they were baffled by the boundaries. They make the wall behind and beside the speaker become a launch point, like a ground plane. So if you have a room with the right corners to support constant directivity cornerhorns, use them. If not, DI-matched mains with flanking subs are the next best thing.

My listening room is very small, only 7 feet 10" wide, and 14 feet long. Could 7pi speakers still be ok in this room? What is minimum recommended listening distance for 7 pi speakers?
If you think they might work, could you send me the plans?
