Hello all- I'm building a new shop, which will have a finished workroom/office in it. Roughly 12x20, with maybe 9' ceiling. I expect to move around this room a bit, so am interested in having a large sweet spot. I am curious about using corner horns, but I'm not sure which size would work best in such a room. I am also curious about the design of the 8 pi, and if it could be used in the corner?

Could I get a look at the plans for the 7pi and the 8pi? Curious to see if I could build them.

Thanks!

The eight Pi can be used in a corner.  It's made to be able to work in a corner or along a wall, but it's best when used in a corner.  It's a great speaker, but it is an entry-level model, whereas the six Pi and seven Pi are top-of-the-line.  They aren't made to be placed anywhere but the corner, being more specialized and refined.

Please let me know which model sounds like it will work best for you and I'll send plans right away.

Well, I'm an entry level kinda guy, I guess, so how about the 8pi?

Welcome Walter.

I recently completed a pair of 7pi corner horns and long ago completed my 2pi surrounds and 4pi center channel.

I think you would be happy with corner horns as long as you move around the back of the room mostly.  I lose all phantom center imaging if I get too close to them.  My media room where they live is about 16' x 24' with the speakers on the short wall.  Pics in my recent thread

I have an old pair of Bose 901's (oh, the horror, audiophiles) in my shop which work nicely with their diffuse soundfield.  They have little imaging to speak of but they sound very consistent no matter where I am in the shop.  And they can crank if I want to jam.

Food for thought...
