If a person's Theater Seven Pi's were, well, in the corners of the listening area, but 15 feet apart, and the listing spot was not perfectly optimal...say in a square room. Mine is square. Would it be possible or at all advisable to have the midhorn/tweeter setup on separate stands inside the bass units...say 8 feet apart? The bass units being in the corners of a 15 ft wide room and the mid tweets being located between them on stands at listening.

Will that mess up imaging?

There are also other reasons for wanting the midhorns in the corners on top of the bass bins. One is that the corner helps smooth midhorn response. It is physically large, but it is acoustically small at the lowest frequencies. Corner loading helps make it act like a larger horn and smooths its response. Also, the π cornerhorn design uses sound sources that radiate 90°, matching the expansion of the room corner. Each sound source is toed in 45° with a pattern that covers 45° on either side. This creates a uniform reverberent field. When moving the midhorn and tweeter away from the corner, you lose these benefits.

I'm making the midhorn/tweeter as a one piece removable unit, and was trying to understand the placement envelope of these as it's design parameters allows. God knows this thing would be a beast if were all built into one cabinet. You'd need two men and a truck to move it.

It was just a thought.

Has anybody ever done a center channel with these guys...kinda like the old Klipsch method? The Sevens in the corners and maybe a 4 pi in the center with the old school center channel wiring setup?

Building stuff tends to put you into a sorta mad scientist mode, I'm afraid. It's fun to play with ideas, though.

• Finishing details for π cornerhorns

For center channel and surrounds, I'd use three π's or four π's of the same line. Surrounds could be one π's or two π's.
