Which Pi for me?
type: item
description: Hello Pi lovers. I am a fairly simple man who plans to build his own speakers. Pi has impressed me and plan to order a pair of kits. The question is, which? I know not the corner horns, as I need a fairly flexible speaker. I may not forever and always have them in the same orientation, the same room, always against the wall or always 4' away from corner walls, etc. As such I was looking at a 2Pi tower, but everyone seems to love the 4pi. Even the base model kit was a bit beyond what I was hoping to spend but can probably stretch it. Primary use is music. I will integrate a sub later, but would love to have a fairly full bottom end in the mean time. Any help? Or would I be better served not with a Pi kit? Thanks!

description: what Mantha3 says is correct, if you're a total saver and maximizer. However, I got some Pi 2's, then some Pi 4's with all eminence drivers, then sold the Eminence woofers, got some 2226's, then later traded out the Eminence CD's for the B&C 250, and did various xover upgrades/mods here and there...and don't regret that path at all. For me, it was fun to hear the changes each time. My son still loves the 2Pi's, and I'm sure somebody somewhere is still enjoying the Eminence drivers.
