Wayne and Mike,
Even when I don't post, I am always keeping an eye on the forums. My life has not been as complicated and busy as Mike's, but there have been a number of things happening lately for me, girlfriend has been sick for the last week and still not back to par, my job with the Govt will disappear after next year (24 years), girlfriends house has aluminum wiring that has been giving fits, and to top it all off, her cottage on the river has frozen pipes and we lost the storage tank and pump (well water).

On the bright side, I had my tech fix my Dynaco SCA-35/ST-70 and McIntosh MC-240. I have been idle on the audio front, so no extra (cookie jar) money has been available. I am still trying to scrape every penny for the BIG EVENT (MAF).

Wayne, it would be nice in the future if I had the money to build the 10 Pi's, but I am not even sure they would fit in my tiny living room (12' x 16' x 8'), I guess that would be like "Nearfield" listening??? I will see what the future has in store for me, Maybe I should work for you and build Pi speakers in the Ohio area, have TillE build my cabinets, and I install and wire them up and deliverly too!

I want to try some experiments soon with some Peavey FH-1's I have and also want to cut down a (homemade) A7 (Altec) clone cabinet down to a clone of a 816.

Wayne, I have one more question for you, I would like to build a pair of 2 Pi's, but I want to tone down the "Hot sizzle" in the piezo. Looking at your 1982 4 Pi schematic, and thought I might try that filter section you used on the piezo. (2 ufd/10 ohm - 1.5 ufd/20 ohm - 1 ufd/25 ohm) I am sure you remember that circuit, just thought I would throw the values at you again. I hope to try that sometime in the near future. The piezo is too shrill for me without it, maybe my old-ass ears are the problem!!! When using Altec/JBL compression drivers and horns with rolloff around 14khz to 16khz, I suffer less listener fatigue compared to the 2-pi sound.

Wayne, if you had room on your site, would it be possible to post older Pi systems (Vintage/retro) from the old days for some of us vintage fans??? Okay, my 2 cents worth for the moment, nice to hear from you guys again.

Ron

Well, that's it for now guys,
