Re: Mono "flanking sub"
A flanking sub is useful for one main speaker. So you can have just one, but if you do, it can't help both speakers of stereo mains. It can only help one. The main job of a flanking sub is to smooth the self-interference anomalies from nearest bound...

Re: Four Pi Frequency Response
That looks like a measurement made indoors. We're seeing room modes and self-interference. The dips around 100Hz to 150Hz look like self-interference from the nearest boundary, which are precisely what flanking subs correct. You'll notice your first...

Re: Will 7Pi work in my room?
The floor won't be a problem, provided the room doesn't sound resonant from panel vibration. Most times, room modes are the biggest problem anyway. Curtains almost always help, and constant directivity cornerhorns benefit even more because there aren...

Re: 4Pi without subwoofer
Multiple subs - both flanking subs and distributed subs - improve sound quality for any loudspeaker setup. The multisub approach smoothes room modes. See the "Room Effects and Loudspeaker Interactions" section of the π Speakers FAQ for more i...

Re: 4Pi without subwoofer
Certainly, you can listen to four π mains without subs. They sound great by themselves, especially in smaller rooms. But to be quite honest, adding flanking subs takes them to a whole new level. Not only do you get a better foundation but you get moda...

Re: My new 4Pis
I just love the looks of those speakers in red! Especially with the red amp and stereo rack. Love that amp, by the way. It's awesome! When you have the time and/or budget, please do setup some flanking subs. Those have a specific purpose, which is...

Concrete walls make room modes much more pronounced than rooms with less rigid walls. You'll want to add some damping, like panel absorbers, for best results.
