I have 2 possible positions for the corner horns, i live in an old cottage and they will be upstares;

- In the corner the left hand speaker will be placed, the wall on the left hand side is 1.5 meters high, and from there the ceeling slopes up towards the center of the room. The right speaker would be placed in a perfect corner.
Will this produce an unbalenced sound? should i counteract this by building a slope above the right hand speaker, to form an arch?

-Both speakers are in similar corners but the wall behind both is only 1.5 meters high and it slopes up and in towards the middle of the room. But the room is an 'L' or 'foot' shape and the right hand speaker is in the toe of the foot, so i would listen off ballenced.

Sorry for posing such a confusing question. I would be very greatefull to recieve any thoughts on my corners!

Regards and thanks for all the help.

I might be interested in such an arrangement. I am begining to consider building the Theater 7 instead of the Theater 4 myself. I would be interested in taking a look at those pics myself.

Could you please e-mail to "listener26@hotmail.com" if it will not go through there because of the size then mail to "geckog21@charter.net" Thanks

I've run into these kinds of things with cornerhorns before. Sometimes, rooms that are highly unsymmetrical like this are problems, sometimes they're not. In general, the corner expansion should not be uneven or you're right to guess that the sound may not be balanced.

I've wondered about the same thing.

Wayne, couldn't you have separate tweeter and woofer cabinets, with both the 4Pi and 7Pi crossovers installed?

The tweeter cabinets would have separate binding posts with cables connecting to the bas boxes. Then you could install both crossovers in each of the bass cabinets with separate binding posts for bass reflex 4Pi use and corner horn 7 Pi use on the opposite sides of the cabinets.

Wayne, is the "home plate" shaped top and bottom cabinet pieces and the vertical pieces in the corners needed for acoustic purposes? Couldn't I just promise to position them correctly (maybe using a template)? (Then the 7Pi cabinets would be simple rectangles.)

Sure, you can mount the tweeter externally. That's how most people do it, actually. As for the shape of the bass bin, the rear panels are a positioning device.

I sent them to your Hotmail account.
If that doesn't work I'll try the other account.
