Alternatively, being a big fan of the PI Ones, I think five of these plus a sub would make a pretty awesome HT speaker system.

I am on my 3rd complete HT upgrade since I got into the hobby in 1998.
I'd definately require a center with the PSD-2002 to maintain the voicing across the front so panning is smooth.
I suppose I am going to have to hear my Stage 4 Pis first but if I like them I would be interested in a 3 or 4 Pi for center use and maybe some One Pis for surround duty.

First and foremost though these Stage 4 Pis must excel in 2 channel as well as HT because I cannot afford 2 systems.

I have been thru at least 7 or 8 pairs of main speakers since I got into this hobby so I pretty much expect each upgrade to at least be a lateral move..but I sort of am expecting an upward move with these Pis.

The link is some pics of my HT which is just my spare bedroom. :-)

I have a suspicion that Sony rolls off the bass in the "natural" setting to give their "Bass Boost" function more impact. With this receiver, I have a choice of weak bass, or boomy bass to complement the screechy top-end. :-P One of the drawbacks of using revealing speakers with a crappy amp.

Wayne use to have a Premium 3PI, built around the Omega Pro 12" driver that would work very well with your Premimum 4's. For Center Channel, you don't need to go deep, so a smaller box could still work.

2X 2Pi Towers
3X 1Pi (centre and surrounds)

I have not built the sub yet as I mainly watch music DVDs and my wife is not too keen about HT sound, but I'm looking at using the Eminence Delta LF (3pi??) with a subwoofer amp like the ones they sell at partsexpress. I am unfortunately in South Africa and can find a similar subwoofer amp nowhere. As soon as I build the box, I will pay more attention to the search.

I also don't have the HT amp yet but would most probably settle for a NAD or Denon.

Good Luck
