Hi Wayne,
Few more questions about the 2Pi's if you don't mind.
1. Does the kit comes with dampening material?
2. I am currently using a push-pull tube amp rated at 65 wpc. Will that be too much power? Can the 2Pi's handle that much power without sounding strained?
3. Since I will be putting this on the floor against the front wall and not on a corner how do I angle it up if need be without spikes or stand?
Best Regards,
Edwin

The damping material I suggest is R11 or R13 fiberglass insulation. It must be supplied separately but is easy to find in any hardware store. The two π speaker is designed to handle 100 watts RMS continuous power, and it does not sound strained at all even at that power level. So 65 watts will be just fine. I like using wedge-shaped mini-stands because the aim the forward axis of the speaker towards the listener without raising the speaker enough to start getting floor bounce. Another way around floor bounce is to add subs, which then also increase bass extension and smooth room modes. But if that's not an option, use angled mini-stands if you can. Only in cases where you have to get the speakers up over furnature would I suggest stands, and in that case, the furniture may help mitigate some of the floor bounce notch. Gotta run... ...it's summertime!

Hi Wayne,
It's not only warm, it's HOT here in the Philippines! Though it should be the rainy season this time of the year this is a very extended summer here. I live in the metropolis and everybody goes out of town to the beaches during weekends. But now no more because school has started. So it's time to settle once again in front of the speakers and let the music drift in the air minus the noise of 4 kids who are off to school :-)
Enjoy,
Edwin
