I am very close to buying a Pi 7 corner horn kit and would like some feedback as to the sound of the various levels. I have a single ended amplifier that can produce about 12 watts per channel. My room is 14' by 20' long.

I was considering the JBL but the cost is high and I have read that the Theater version, although bigger, sounds very good with low power tube amplifiers. Is it worth moving up the scale? Perhaps the Omega is a compromise? Do the Eminence drives sound better as you move up the line or can they just handle more power?

Also, how difficult is it to build the cabinets? It seems to me that the building would not be that bad but the finishing quite brutal and expensive.

I would really appreciate reading your input and experiences before I lay down some hard cash on one of these kits.

Thank You.


Doug
