First and foremost I love music, all kinds. I want to be able to relax with some John Hiatt or Mark Knoppler or just rock out with old school Metallica. Then there is my wife who loves country and hip hop...is there such a speaker? I am also very passionate about home theater usage but I want to build a music system first. I plan to use 3 of the same speakers accross the front but would like somthing smaller for the rear 4 speakers..can this be done. I hate to give a budget at this point as regardless of what I get, I have to save for and will have to buy in portions.

I built the Stage 4 Pis and love them...there is no comparsion between these and my old Klipsch Reference Series speakers.

I am building some One Pis for surround duty and will eventually build another Stages Series speaker for center channel duty.

If you want the smallest Pi speaker with the most output and probably the biggest bang for the buck then the Stage Series is an excellent choice.
If you have more money and want a small high output speaker then the Pro Series 4 Pi is the one to go with.
If you have space for a larger speaker and want to spend abit less then the Theater Series 4 Pis is a popular one.

Lots and lots of choices!

I have been doing some heavy research and am starting to narrow down some selections, the hard part will be convincing my wife to let theese monsterous speakers in the house although if done right they would become possibly a phone stand on one side a lamp stand on the other and mabey a t.v stand for the center...who knows.

Keep us up to date on the One Pi's. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I'm a big fan of these.
