Greetings Ladies (in the off chance) and Gentlemen,
Having been bitten severely by the horn bug after owning Klipsch Cornwall IIIs in a great room, I was saddened by having to sell them due to a move to a house with a small listening triangle. It is an open 600-sq.ft. space, but the listening triangle only allows 6-7 feet from the speakers in an equilateral triangle. I dread the idea of non-horns, toy with the idea of Klipsch Heresy IIIs, but I worry about being so close to 3-ways. I suddenly recalled Pi speakers, great 2-way horns, and I'm hoping, eureka!
So, how are 3Pis and 4Pis in the nearfield? Main differences? less bass is probably good--this is a small condo. They will likely run off a Musical Fidelity 35 wpc class-A amplifier. 3Pis with the AE woofers?
Thanks,
Kristian

Hi Kristian,
I agree with Wayne. I listen to my 4 Pis in a small listening room with the speakers only about 8 ft from my chair but away from the corners of the room a good bit. The sound is well integrated, bass is balanced and soundstage extends well beyond the speakers filling the room but with good specificity of images. Wonderful!
