yeah, it's a livelier place and seems easier to navigate. at the same time, I feel like there is potentially more knowledge depth over here, just not necessarily Klipsch related.

Has anyone ever tried building the quarter pie with a hinged mouth?
I’ve thought of using it standing as in the picture and wondered if I was using it that way if there was any benefit to being able to open the mouth up?

That is much the case for ANY commercial loudspeaker you can buy for reasonable money. It is not limited to Klipsch.

Please do!
I've been investigating the Super Heresy you developed and it would be helpful if there was a convenient place where you could provide insight and advice. Such topics are now forbidden on the Klipsch forum.
Morey, I've followed many of your Klipsch posts, and will probably do some mods to my Chorus ll speakers, once I get the Vortex coax pair finished. I have them in my master bedroom and love them, but have always wondered how much improvement that some of your mods would give them. They're my favorite low volume speakers for late night listening and they easily can make the windows rattle! Glenn.
I see no point in doing that? Just curious as to why? The mouth is pretty big now. I have designed a Super Quarter Pie that goes lower and has larger mouth with the same basic Easy built with more lumber.
That is what I was thinking too since so many products are constrained by accountants.
Moray, good to see you pop up. How is your recovery going?
Have a bit of your FF85wKeN done. Last pair.

My first thought was that placing any Mid/HF horn on top of a 4 foot standing quarter pie was a bit high for my room and seating.
I was looking for a way to possibly mount a horn a bit lower and partially in the mouth of the quarter pie.
I didn’t know what effect opening the mouth might have on its performance.
Lots of effect from opening the mouth. But not so much near the woofer door. There you could mount a small horn in that part of the mouth, with the current design, when it's standing up with very little effect on the response. Even if the horn blocked the last 12-15" or so, it would have little effect, so you have the right idea with little compromise.
SERIOUSLY FOLKS DON'T POST ON THAT THREAD, just read. If it comes up to many times with fresh comments it will go away too. Klipsch is killing mod threads and as long as they are not active with current posts I think Roy is letting them slide.
having your mid horn centred on your seated ear level would be a good thing as your horn will be most accurate on axis.
take your time no rush and let me know when you are finished. Thanks so much I was thinking about those beautiful little cabinets yesterday you must have read my mind!
you should place the pie horn up against the wall and your tower where the pie is now that will give you all the reinforcement that you will need and you will have fewer side wall reflections to listen to that will be a win win situation.
sorry Dave I did not respond to your health question. two years out now after a stroke and still finding a new normal though most things are good. I have slowed down but not too much more. Right now I am in Nova Scotia visiting my two grand children the newest born July 16, I arrived on the 18th of July. It's great to see the little ones, the first was born the day before my stroke so I am very grateful to be able to be here with them. I hope you and Ruth and your cats are all doing well Dave. I hope I can visit you in a few years time.
Find me on the AudioKaram forum, it's too crazy to keep up all the places where the same information would be posted. I've already done an UnPorrted Heresy mod that a few guys have invested in, on demand, actually, by someone who didn't want to cut a hole and buy a $2 flared port! I'm working on a Super Heresy 4.0, which will have even lower bass output in that little box, down to 40, I hope.
