Hello,
New here. I've just got some 2226H on the way. Now I'm trying to decide what to do with them, 7pi or 4pi. Here are a couple of questions I have so far...
1) MDF or plywood? Does it matter much? Appearance doesn't matter a whole lot...might even have them painted as I've got some very talented artists at my disposal.
2) What is a good corner? I understand that both or these work well in corners but that the 4pi can also manage against a wall too. My room is 20x24 and there is a very good chance that the speakers would need to be placed in the corners 24' apart. Also, there is likely to be two 4x8 glass windows between them on this wall if that matters. It seems like the 7pi is the better speaker if one has the right space for it but that the 4pi is more versatile in placement options. I suppose I could build the 4pi and then work on the cabinets for the 7pi and transfer the drivers.
Thanks,
Michael
