between the Heresy and 2 Pi.

It is very much what I expected:

2 Pi - disregarding labor, materials for the 2Pi was less than $275 total. For that price I could not imagine a better new speaker. It is very efficient and a surprising two way. The Eminence speaker was an instant success to my ear. I still have some difficulty with the tweeter in a comparison with the Heresy, but when not comparing the two it is a reasonable solution. As a speaker I intend to give to my daughter that was more of a 'carpentry practice', I was more than pleasantly surprised and may well keep (move to my office) until I think her ear deserves it (grin).

Heresy - I still have an affinity for the two horns on this speaker and most everything above 700- 800hz is a joy (at my age - not having much above 16Khz seems to be of little relevance). As expected the stuff below 700hz is not my favorite part of this speaker.

For overall performance, I will be staying with the Heresy. However, there BR portion of Wayne's design is a very pleasant surprise and is why I will be making something akin to a Pi aligned three way with horns for the higher freqs and BR for the lower freqs.

Also - even if comparing with the used market, the 2 Pi can be significantly cheaper than Heresy II and an interestingly equitable performer, especially in the Low freqs.

Henry
