One and Two Pi, anyone have an impedence curve chart for these?

I am just exploring the possible amplification routes for these and want to know what kind of load they are on an amp.

thanks

I suppose I might consider some 2 Pis for the front stage and put the Ones back in the back , but to be honest I really love the Ones and id feel bad if they 2s were not as sweet.
The ones really seem to excel in vocal clarity, I am near deaf in som frequencys and the Ones seem to accomodate me very well.

Can someone who has build and used both the One and Two Pis comment on them?

They're a pretty easy load, two humps of about 15Ω each down low, then 8Ω up through the midrange, gradually rising up to around 3kHz where impedance begins to drop to about 4Ω.

The Studio two π goes a little deeper in bass response, and the tower two π goes a lot deeper. The lack of deep bass in the one π's is just fine for surrounds or if you're running a sub, and they are very clean so I like them a lot too.

I've built 2PI Towers and Studio 1 PIs with piezos, and Studio 2 PIs
with Vifas. My experience's follow Wayne's descriptions well. The 1s
are go just deep enough to be satisfying, but just. The additional
extension of the Studio 2s make them better, in my ears, for use as
a very nice general purpose speaker. I think you would enjoy the 2s
in your HT, and the 1s should be fine for center and surround. I'm
using 4 Studio 2 PIs with one 1 PI as a center channel. My room is
terrible, so no useful comments there until it is much improved.
My comments on the speakers is in 2 Ch use in better rooms.

Thanks Wayne.. reason I asked is because I have been experimenting with some digital amps , seems the bang for the buck factor on these
are huge.
I was using a Pioneer EX500 now I am using an Onkyo LR552 .. which is only rated for 65 watts into 6ohms @ 1Khz.

The Panasonics digital path receivers are pretty popular too and can be had for a song.
