Re: Pete's Home Theater Build
Sounds like a great plan. I think that's what I would do too.
Are you still planning to run constant directivity cornerhorns? Or are you going back to your original plan of using four π mains? The cornerhorns would be perfect for that room, but one...

Re: compare 3pi vs Klipsch Synergy F2
The 3Pi has a smooth neutral tonal character. The clarity afforded by the 3Pi makes it more forgiving of lesser quality recordings than many competitors. Course upper midrange and treble response and significant distortion can be mistaken for clarity and d...

Re: Uniform Directivity - How important is it?
Yes, of course!
The H290C is the ultimate waveguide for critical studio monitoring, home hifi or home theater applications. Its response curve is as smooth as any horn I've seen, efficiency is high, distortion is low and directivity is constant. I d...

Re: Hi and a Few Questions
Very cool, Michael! I like your implementation of the constant directivity cornerhorn appoach. Nice work!

Re: Uniform Directivity - How important is it?
To offer a little more information, consider the following sonograms:
First, the ideal directivity pattern would be constant through the entire audio band. A constant directivity cornerhorn comes close to this, because the walls confine the beam down...

Uniform Directivity - How important is it?
I must say that I'm in the middle on this subject of directivity and how much it matters. Back when directivity wasn't even considered by most audiophiles, I made more a point of discussing its importance. But now that constant directivity has become m...

Re: An amazing listening session with the H290C
You definitely want the Rs resistor installed and the C1 capacitor removed. This provides the best response. Of course, you can always leave C1 in place, but doing that gives a slightly tilted-up response, totalling about 3dB more at the very top end.

Re: H290C Horn/Waveguide
The H290C is the best 90°x45° horn/waveguide available, truly a no-compromise design. So naturally, I would suggest it for any DI-matched two-way speaker or constant directivity cornerhorn.
The loudspeaker models I make using that waveguide are the o...

Re: Room question and plans
They'll work perfectly in that room.
You've got mail! I've sent the plans to you.
As an aside, vaulted ceilings always seem to make the room sound "shouty" in the upper mids. When you clap your hands, the slap echo is fierce. Constant ...

Re: Pi Cornerhorn Aesthetics
There's no problem adding "wings" to the bass bin, although it does reach a smidge into the lower midrange so I wouldn't shadow it too much. An acoustically transparent (or nearly transparent) grille or foam would probably be best.
There is...
