Here is my Pi seven's with one coat of stain on them. They still need another coat of stain and poly. I am going to wait until it gets warmer to poly them outside. I don't think the family will like the smell.

I used red oak ply and Selenium drivers. Notice the L-Pad on the lower left hand corner.

I could not have done this without the help of Wayne. Thanks Wayne.

Hi Brian,

That's a nice looking cornerhorn, I like the color. I bought some red Mahogany stain and I find it too dark. I am going for something like what you have. I don't know if I can make birch look like that, though.

What do you think about the Pi cornerhorns? I bet it sounds awesome.

I just received my woofer yesterday and installed it in the cornerhorns running fullrange (still waiting for my active XO)and I'd have to say I am impressed. Startling dynamics and the upper frequency extension is pretty high for a 15 incher. I'll have more to say later when I have these setup properly.

I'll second your comment about Wayne, Extremely helpful. You da man Wayne!!!

Regards,
Jeff

I still have not finished the "finish" of the cabinets. It is getting warmer, so , I expect to have them completed in 2 weeks. Including the custom cut glass to protect the top as I did with my dinning room table.

I did, however, found out how much my neighbor likes my new PI7's. He heard them in HIS shower. He came over to take a look (not to complain). His comments were, "I have never heard anything as close to live sound as these speakers". I know he is right as we both play guitar.

I used red oak with Minwax "Red Oak" color stain. They are still a little light for my taste. They only have one coat of stain on them. One more should do the job.

I have heard many different speakers over the years. From ESL to planar to horns. They are the best sounding speaker I have heard yet. And with a cost of roughly $600.00 total, including paying a cabinet maker, you can't go wrong. Not to mention you get exactly the "look" you want.

Again, AMEN.
