Re: Brainstorming my speaker strategy
You're definitely on the right track with the four π mains and multisubs. They are a significant upgrade over what you have right now. They're as loud as those Cerwin Vegas and much, much cleaner. No offense, those CVs are good party speakers with ple...

Re: Start with a standard Pi ...
Forget the mods unless you want to go through a complete design/test/refine/retest design cycle. I've spent literally hundreds of hours refining each model, and that's after three decades of developing this design type. It just doesn't make sense to th...

Re: Subwoofer hook-up
With a passive preamp, you pretty much have to use mains that have input adjustments in order to set the relative volume levels between mains and subs. This is true with active preamps too, if there is just one output. That's how I run mine - I have an...

You've got mail!
People are running four π speakers with a variety of power amps ranging from flea-power 2 watt SET amps to 600 watt prosound amps. I recommend at least 10 watts, but more than 100 watts for home hifi is overkill.
