Hello Wayne,

im a long timer lurker and reader of your site and pdf's, alot of good reading Smile.

I am building a small dedicated ht/music room and has been dreaming of trying your 7 cornerhorn for a long time now.

my room is 11 x 13 feet.

im stil in the planning fase so i can orient the room as i please.

would i gett a good result with your pi sevens in that room?

speakers on short or long wall?

what would the optimal leasening distance be?


best regards

bent

If the corners are unobstructed - no door openings or open windows - then that room will work very well. I generally prefer the short wall be in front of the listeners because it is easier to setup where the forward axes cross in front of the listening area that way.

Hi Wayne,

no doors or windovs so it all good Very Happy

how much in front of the listeners should the forward axes cross?

have you got an opinion on how much power they need to sound their best?

as i am in denmark i would like to just buy the crossover from you, is that possible?

I would like plans for them emailed to bentblaabjerg@yahoo.dk if you would be so kind.

thank you for your wonderfull site and you attitude towards diy'ing YOUR speakers.

Panduro

Welcome Panduro,

Wayne is a great guy and has tons of good solid information in his FAQs.

no doors or windovs so it all good

I recall Wayne saying that you need at minimum 1m (metric for you my European friend!) of uninterrupted wall on both sides of the cornerhorns.


how much in front of the listeners should the forward axes cross?


Wayne will link to the proper FAQ piece but I think he said ~1m.

have you got an oppinion on how much power they need to sound their best?

All Wayne's speaker's are fantastic in that they are high efficiency so they run well with low power tube amps (5W) and class A amps (10W) but at the same time they are high power, 'pro'-type speakers so can take 100s of watts and sound super clean doing it!

as i am in denmark i would like to just buy the crossover from you, is that possible?

Shipping does get expensive! Can you get the drivers locally?
Here' the 7 Pi crossover:

and just the PCB:
http://www.pispeakers.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/272

The prices are just for one so you'll need two for stereo.

I would like plans for them emailed to bentblaabjerg@yahoo.dk if you would be so kind.

Wayne will email them to you!

thank you for your wonderfull site and you attitude towards diy'ing YOUR speakers.

Wayne just added the FAQ section and it is packed full of awesome info!
