I got the 2 Pi tower glued up and at 9:00 tonight cranked them up.It sounds great. There is a distinct accurate bass I'm not used to. My wife and I listened to Phantom of the Opera, one of her favorites, She liked it so much She will allow them (the second will follow) in the family room despite their size. The finish will be flat black paint.
Thank you, Wayne, for the great speaker design and kit.
I'll post some pictures tomorrow after work.
