Hi,
I'd like to ask one question on 2226 7Pi/4Pi.
I've already build 2Pi & 2Pi tower great price/performance dessigns, thanks Wayne :-)
Currently I have "hard time" to decide on the next project. I'm looking for more details, more presence bigger sound and deeper bass. I like the world of high efficiency and haven't constraints on enclosure volume so I wouldn't go back to consumer hifi.
My understanding is that theater 4Pi will meet those requirements, and that the professional 2226-version will add even more details and naturalness.
However, If I remember correctly, I've read that 2226 need at least 10W to fully express its qualities. My preference is to have details and full expression at moderate levels, I certainly want no play 97+dB speakers at 10W at my home :-) (My power amp gain is of 22k/680 = 33, can deliver 50W/8Ohm, and my attenuator is set to 1k/33k = 1/33, so I listen to no voltage amplified output from CD player ???).

Is thermionic or theater 4pi better option for my use, or is 2226 better sonically even if no played loud, say at ~1W ?
TIA,
vladimir
