Re: My 3π adventure
I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words, and Wayne for all the support. I cannot stress this enough especially for Wayne who answered all my stupid questions with great patience. That being said I am back from vacation so its measurements time...

Re: Small Room Suggestions
All my speakers tend to work well with boundary reinforcement, so half-space or quarter-space is best. Of course, that then gives SBIR but that's what flanking subs mitigate. Speakers pulled far away from walls always have the benefit of no SBIR, but...

Re: 3pis built & subs purchased. Finalizing Placement in AT Baffle Wall
That will probably work just fine. Do set it all up on stands and audition it before committing though. One of the things required for flanking subs to work is an unusually high frequency low-pass on the subs. This provides blending in the upper midba...

Re: four Pi and subs
Compression driver changes sometimes need different R1/R2 values to match voltage sensitivity. The amplitude and polar response is set by the waveguide, which is has much more influence than the driver. The only things set by the driver are mass-roll...

Re: Smaller 3 pi construction?
Of course, a loudspeaker like you've described could be designed and I would expect it to be great, if done properly. But don't modify the cabinet dimensions without acoustic testing, and specifically pay attention to the lower midrange. That's what ...

Re: Downfiring flanking subs ??
I see what you mean, with the wall being the 1/2 wavelength marker for the main speaker. Well, it's worth a shot, and certainly better in terms of SBIR than a conventional front mounted 3 way woofer. Thanks for the guidance, Wayne.

Re: Downfiring flanking subs ??
The two issues are (1) acoustic loading and (2) path-length distance. If down-firing, we also have the potential of suspension settling, but that doesn't apply to you 'cause you aren't talking about down-firing. So since you already have considered the...

Re: Downfiring flanking subs ??
What you're describing may work well. It's definitely better to have the flanking subs near the boundary than it is to have them near the mains they're flanking. This is counter-intuitive, I know, and it would not be true outdoors where we would want t...

Re: Downfiring flanking subs ??
Hi Wayne, Apologies for digging up an old thread, but this seems to be most relevant to my question. I have left and right speakers that are approximately 18" wide. I have them toed in at 45 degrees with the inside rear corner touching the fr...

Re: Pi Studio One Tower
I like the whole concept of the 2.5-way speaker very much. It's the best and most natural way to resolve baffle step, in my opinion. Of course, that means running the lower "helper" woofer up to the baffle step frequency. This brings me to...
