Re: What is the best way to get better bass in my home system?
I agree with Bruce with respect to the quality metrics of an individual subwoofer.
I'd like to also bring to your attention the concept of multiple subwoofers. I believe that is the most effective thing you can do to achieve good bass response in you...

Re: Mono "flanking sub"
I have realized over the last decade or so that it always helps to add bass sound sources, up to about four where we start to see diminishing returns. But even beyond that, there are improvements. I have also learned that placement matters most when th...

Re: Woofers and models
Thanks Wayne.
Your response confirms my thinking. No use getting wrapped up in a 6pi vs. 7pi comparison.
I'll likely convert my 4pi's to 7pi's, just have to build the cabinets first.
Is it feasable that I could convert my crossovers to 7pi cross...

Re: Woofers and models
You're right about all your thoughts, but really, both six π and seven π cornerhorns sound great driven with 300B SET amps. You'll be please with either one.
Constant directivity cornerhorns don't need flanking subs. But you still can't go wrong wit...

Re: 7Pi plans
The tonal balance is the same, but constant directivity cornerhorns have an advantage in that they do not suffer coloration from early reflections like all other forms of speakers do. They are acoustically close enough to nearest boundaries to act as th...

Re: Mono "flanking sub"
You can always provide equalization to fine-tune the response. That sometimes offers additional improvement. But the biggest advantage is from summing of multiple sound sources, which smoothes the sound field using dense interference. That's the point...

Re: Mono "flanking sub"
Self-interference notches are from room reflections. The speakers measure flat outdoors.
The whole concept of multisubs - which flanking-subs are a specialized type - is to create dense interference that smoothes the average sound field. This requir...

Re: Subs to pair with 2 Pi or 4 Pi
Flanking subs need to be capable of smooth output up into the lower midrange. It's just as important that they be they be faithful at medium-range frequencies as low. So they're called to take on more than just subwoofer duty. As for traditional subs ...
