I would describe two π towers as having an audiophile quality but with greatly increased dynamic range. The thing about most high-quality cone/dome two-way speakers is they are generally accurate on-axis and sonically neutral but they just seem so constricted. The high-efficiency two π tower speaker sounds much more open and unrestricted to me. It isn't that the response curve is particularly different than other similar audiophile speakers, because the two π tower has a very nice flat response curve. It's just that the efficiency is much higher, providing lots of dynamic range.

The two π tower has a first-order crossover, and the crossover point is above the vocal range, so midrange is sweet and pure. Voices sound natural, as do other instruments like cello and piano that are so hard to get right. The -3dB point is 35Hz, so these speakers deliver unusually deep bass response too. The tweeter is crisp, but not unnnaturally so. It is a very refined speaker for such an inexpensive kit, in my opinion.

The shopping cart will calculate shipping costs for you, and let you know before you pay. So you can use that feature to check the cost of these or any other π speaker products.
