Re: Corners and frequencies
I've designed constant directivity cornerhorns for over three decades, and the current configuration is the best I've come up with. There are a handful of competing priorities, some that you've mentioned like listener height and others too, like acousti...

Re: Pi 3 or 4?
It is a pretty common question, you're right. And my answer is always that what you're really doing is choosing the midwoofer family more than anything else. Thes two speakers have very similar spectral balance. They are very much alike. This is even...

Re: 4 Pi and 7 Pi bass response- More similar or different?
A constant directivity cornerhorn doesn't suffer self-interference anomalies from nearest boundaries. So there is no need for flanking subs. Instead, you would want to setup the subwoofers as distributed subs, a little further from the mains and low-pa...

Re: 4Pi Placement
The main thing is to cross the mains axes in front of the listeners, and to use flanking subs. The flanking subs will both add extension and also smooth the self-interference notches from the wall behind the speakers, vertical modes and other similar an...

Re: Helper Woofer Location
If you can put the speakers in the corners, you really want to run seven π cornerhorns instead. They are designed for corner placement, keeping the sound source acoustically close to the apex of the corner. That removes the need for flanking subs becau...

Re: Pete's Home Theater Build
That's an excellent question, one that has been posed here many times. I think that the method you propose will work well, and there are plenty that have done it that way. In fact, if I did not have experience with the sound of a three or four π center...

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: Damping H290C horn
Yes, I expect self-interference and room modes are likely the problem. I use the three π subs, which have a LAB12 woofer in them. But you can use a smaller sub, perhaps one that doesn't give as much extension, if you're worried about bothering the neig...

Re: 4pi's on the way!
It matters more where you put the flanking subs than it does where you cross them or what you use to cross them with. They really need to be placed a few feet below, beside and behind the mains - not too far away and not too close. You need the distanc...

Re: 2 pi tower folding?
That's true, of course, but the HF range looks pretty much untainted by the room. The LF response is going to be dominated by the room, but it looks clean above 100Hz. And the 100-300Hz range is what I was most concerned with anyway. That's where the ...
