Re: 2 Pi tower
I wouldn't suggest making any change to box dimensions in this model. It "rides the line" between being a transmission line and a bass reflex design. There are both internal standing waves and Helmholtz resonance in play in the bass region, s...

Re: Flanking subs with multi-sub optimizer, and other questions
Dipole subs will give more than one phase - which is actually good for breaking up the room modes - so I would expect good things from this kind of setup.
Please report back what you find.

As far as the speaker...

Re: Futzing with vibration control
Hi Johnnycamp,
Googled the preamp and found it's homepage and some photos. It's a nice looking piece. Seems to have hundreds of build options, too. Do you like it's sound?
My experiences with the 3, 4 and 7 pi's are different from yours. I've onl...

Re: Futzing with vibration control
It's an interesting observation, isn't it Barry?
You know, in the 1980s and 1990s, I used only solid-state amps. I was quality conscious, so I used good equipment but none of it was tube gear. So I was familiar with these speakers on amps that could...

Re: Radian 475PB
That's awesome, Bruce! The forward lobe is right where you want it to be! Nulls roughly equally spaced and far apart, outside the vertical beam.
As for the nearby boundaries - side and rear wall - give a helper woofer setup a try. It will provide t...

Re: Corner horn listening distance
Since your room has a front wall span of just under twelve feet across, the best area to listen to the cornerhorns in your room is in the area between about six feet back and twelve feet back from the front wall. You can sit more distant than that and i...

Re: Definimax 4012HO - End of Life
I agree with you, 100%. Those B&C midwoofers are really nice. It's a wonderful top-notch in the upgrade path for the three π model loudspeaker. I think this 2020 version is the best that the three π loudspeaker has ever been.
I also agree with ...

Re: 3Pi or 4Pi?
The three π model is slightly larger than the four π, that's true. Both have similarly sized baffles though, and they're large enough that baffle step happens right about the Schroeder frequency. So below the baffle step, we're in the room's modal regi...

Re: 4Pi plan request and question.
You've got mail!
I recommend you use flanking subs with these speakers. This isn't done just to add extension, but also to provide modal smoothing and reduce self-interference anomalies from nearest boundaries. Some people also like to run one or tw...
