hi mike,i know what your going through, been there with my 7 pi corner horns. first my technician installed improper compensation for the x-over-which wayne thankfully corrected- but then my cabinetmaker made to large a cutout for the flare so i had to use the larger eminence cd flare. oops again, this flare needs different compensation again which i never corrected. in my previous post you will note the hesitation i had before i hooked up my new premium stage 4 pi's but they sound unbelievable, believe me when i say this as i at one time owned a pair of mg1's. there is no comparison, the pi's whoop there ass. the difference in sound with improper compensation or the improper flare is night & day. i honestly believe the 4 pi's performance is superior to anything from klipsch ( much better components) and believe they can hold there own against the smallest avantgarde's. but look at the savings!!! i'm glad your into tubes because i believe they are far more musical and i myself was running the decware zen s84c but have know switched to a more powerfull kr enterprise amp. the small set's are fine but the speakers sound so good i constantly turn them up. 10 watts a side is plenty.
between you and wayne i'm sure you will sort things out, and please keep us posted on your results.
thanks,
george
