Chad,
For my music only system I have VMPS RM40's. These are an absolute top of the line floor standing speaker . For my home theater system I have bookshelf speakers from GR Research. Very nice speakers also. I just completed the Stage 4 Pi's about a month ago. These were my first venture into high efficiency horn speakers. I have to say that I am impressed. No, they are not in the same league with the much more expensive RM40's and they may lack the smoothness of the GR Reseach speakers but they are nonetheless a heck of alot of fun to listen to. They have a great dynamic range and room filling sound that is reminiscent of the real thing. They would be very hard to beat for the price as a combination music/home theater speaker. There is really no comparison between one of these as a center channel speaker and a small bookshelf type. Three of the Stage 4 Pi's across the front would be a truly awesome sound. You might even get by with two of these and no center channel speaker. I am considering something like this myself now(the ones I built are now in my basement rec room). I sincerely doubt you will be sorry if you chose to build the Stage 4 Pi's.
