Howdy Folks - I live in Nashville Tennesse and have settled on some horn speakers to upgrade my Hi-Fi experience. I have several questions that I wonder if y'all can answer.

1) Is there any who lives in Nashville who has a set of PI's that I could check out live in person for an hour or so? I've previewed the Klipsch models at our local Hi-Fi Store and they are very impressive. I would happily compensate you for your time with a septet of ale or groovy wine from California. The 2003 zins are awesome. If interested please respond to my e-mail.

2) When comparing the Klipsch RF-5's to the Pi 4 models I was surprised that the Klipsch claim a lower bottom end frequecy (32 Hz) with smaller woofer's. Granted the Klipsch have 2 - 8" woofers to the Pi's 1 - 15" woofer (40 Hz), but generally shouldn't a larger diameter woofer give a lower frequency? Can my ears even tell the differnce between 32 and 40 Hz?

3) Does anyone own/owned Klipsch and now own Pi's who would care to chime in about differences?

Thanks,

Patrick Watkins
