Re: Six Pi Review
The current system has been evolving for about five years. It started out with a number of highly respected audiophile speakers, none of which integrated well with the oddly shaped asymmetric room. Eventually research into how to decrease room effects led ...

Six Pi Review
Corners can be the undoing of a loudspeaker. Bass becomes exaggerated. Close proximity to the walls results in early reflections that make imaging vague and the highs grainy. Most manufacturers recommend placing loudspeakers well away from corners and the ...

Re: Klipsch KP-3002 Crossover Mods
The H290C horn I use has an oblate spheroidal flare profile, something often called a waveguide these days. It provides constant beamwidth, smooth response and minimum wavefront distortion.
The R1/R2/C1 network is used to tailor response for compress...

Re: H290C Horn/Waveguide
The H290C was designed from the start to be a bolt-on upgrade, that would require a minimum of crossover changes. The acoustic centers are in the same place and the patterns are similar, so the pre-2012 crossover used with the old H290 horn can be used a...

Re: H290C Horn/Waveguide
Some have asked why it is important to maintain 90° beamwidth in the horizontal, and why 100° or more is less desirable. For example, one of our friends here recently evaluated another similar waveguide/horn with ~100° coverage. The other horn was tout...

Re: 7 PI Plans
Bass response of the seven π cornerhorns is the same as the four π speakers. What's different is the behaviour of sound at frequencies above midbass. The corner loading of the woofer and the midhorn prevent any self-interference from nearby boundaries,...

Re: Meniscusaudio Inductors
We use Erse Super Q (laminated steel-core) coils in the constant directivity cornerhorns - but do not use them in the matched-directivity two-ways. The woofer in the cornerhorns is only used for bass and so an iron core is fine. But the two-ways run th...

Re: H290C Horn/Waveguide
Yes, the H290 horns in existing designs can be retrofitted with H290C waveguides. It was designed specifically to be a bolt-on upgrade.
The old H290 was really pretty good, acting much the same as a waveguide providing nearly constant horizontal dire...
