1 Pi update, brief review [message #39115]

I've had my 1 pi's up and running for about a month now. Because the sound room isn't finished in the new house I have had them in my home office where I spend most of the day. They have no bass, but what is there is really good with my Wright 2A3 monos, pre and new Sony C222Es cd. There is some really fine detail coming through these little guys! maybe it is the xoverless design, I don't know. These would make great nearfield monitors as thats pretty much how i listen to them. I have my back turned to them in the sweet spot while I sit at my desk and I find myself turning around and saying, "what the hell was that? A new sound out of an old recording? I believe that these things do break in. The brightness that I heard has mellowed out and the midrange came forward. If you are reading this and want to build a first set of speakers, then build these! - Or the 2 Pi towers, they seem like they would correct my criticism about the lack of bass.

Thanks for the update on your one π's. I'm glad you're enjoying them!

Maybe it's about time to put together some π subs to go with 'em. Do you want the plans? You can use a JBL 2241 or 2245, or an Eminence Omega 18 or Kilomax 18. I seem to recall you have hardwood floors, and that might hurt you a little bit, but you'll definitely be generating some bass with these subs. If you've still got that Adcom amp, it will do nicely with them.

Thanks Wayne,

I would like the sub plans for both the Eminence woofers. If you have plans that are based on Eminence 12's that would be even better. I have thought about doing a dual woofer system based on 12's but I cant seem to be able to open the boxplot program once I download it. So it is hard to do homework on the subject to come up w/ my own creation.

Thanks again,
