Will this be a good match?

Also which PI's should I be looking at? I will use them in a medium sized room and my budget is less than 1000$. The less the better I suppose but I'm really looking for the best bang for my buck. I will buy the kit and try to build them myself.

Also...I've never built any DIY things except for my stand. I'm I getting in over my head?

last question...What kind of wood is the best for these speakers?

Thanks to all who help me!

I can assure you that any of the models in the π Speaker line work well, and I've connected many of them to my Paramours. Even speakers that require a high degree of amplifier/motor damping sound great. There's plenty of bass with control, the midrange is pure and the treble is crisp.

Personally, I would suggest the Professional seven π, Professional four π, Theater six π and Theater three π speakers as personal favorites. The Theater four π / Paramour combination sounds excellent, and is probably one of the most popular Bottlehead system configurations, certainly here. And the Tower two π speakers are also really great, especially for their cost. That gives you quite a range of prices, so there is a nice system for every budget.

I'm really interested, but still need help narrowing down my choices.

My room is not that big and I don't really have available corners. What are the sizes of the finnished products assuming I follow thr pi design. I'm having a hard time figuring out what these are going to look like and how much space they will take. Where can I see them?

Don't mean to be rude, but I find the web-site confusing...at least for dummies like me.

Also what kind of wood does one use to build the cabinets? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

link re: wood - 10179.html

for a first timer I suggest MDF - easy to work with and cheap.

one π is a bass-reflex speaker with an 8" woofer
two π is a bass-reflex speaker with 10" woofer
three π is a matched-directivity bass-reflex speaker with 12" woofer
four π is a matched-directivity bass-reflex speaker with 15" woofer
five π is a constant-directivity cornerhorn with a 10" woofer
six π is a constant-directivity cornerhorn with a 12" woofer
seven π is constant-directivity cornerhorn with a 15" woofer

Studio Series use Eminence Alpha woofers
Thermionic also uses Eminence Alphas
Theater uses Eminence Deltas
Stage Series uses Eminence Omegas
Premium Stage uses Eminence Kilomax
Professional uses JBL Professional Series drivers

I hope that clarifies things a bit.

If the overall dimension of the Theater 4 is too large. Step up to the Stage series 4 Pi.

MDF is inexpensive and a great substrate for veneer. Other than being easy to machine it can be challenging to work with. Russian, Baltic and Fin ply is the best choice. It comes in 5 x 5 sheets and is not always economical. Home Depot sells some fairly decent birch ply for around 36 bucks. pick up two sheets of this and build a speaker.
