In Reply to: RE: Has anyone used 4 Pi speakers in a small room? posted by Frihed89 on June 29, 2009 at 12:25:47
The large woofer is directional by the crossover point, and the horn, obviously, beams. This helps reduce room interaction, which is particularly beneficial in a small room, as long as you can sit far enough back for good driver integration (due to the relatively large center-center spacing)
Bass is supposed to sound big. 6.5" is not a woofer size.

should sound very nice!! What's the rest of the room dimensions? Mine are on a wall about 12' wide and I do most listening from about 8' away. 10' would let you have 'em 6 or 7' apart and still a little out of the corner. You could put 'em a little in or out of the corner if you need plus or minus few dB's of bass. I think pi's sound very good in smaller rooms, I also like line arrays, but I think they take a little more space in front of them to become coherent.
I listen on the long axis. There are no side walls and I can not reverse the listening axis. It is a loft/attic flat. One wall on the L axis slopes with the roof line across the entire width. The back wall is vertical, made of brick, and meets the center roof-line about 8 feet high.What are the dimensions and weight of these speakers and what do you do for stands? I saw some on cement blocks?

I don't use stands. You might wanna, can serve as a fine-tuning. For music with louder electric bass, Ijust put a small piece of plywood under the front of the cab, just enough to break contact with a hardwood floor. For acoustic bass, classical music, I just leave them right on the floor. I have 9' ceilings, real plaster walls, and hardwood floors (old thick kind, house built in '30's), and some arched openings.
That's sweet. You should be in very good shape then. 4Pis would be a very nice choice.
