Thank you Wayne for the 2 Pi Tower design and kit.

The inaugural play was Yes "Close to the Edge"

We just listened to "E Power Biggs Plays Bach in the Thomaskirche"
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor BWV 565
Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor BWV 582

What a glorious sound. My feeling, to misquote Ben Franklin is
Music is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
(Beer is good too)

I think it's perfect that the first music through your speakers was Close to the Edge. Back in the seventies, Yes was my favorite band, and was the first thing I put through the first pair of one π's was Yes too.

Very nice. Plus, I always consider (about) them having a recessed podium underneath hiding some rubber feet. Makes them "float" in the air.

They look brilliant!

Thanks for your kind comment. My wife wanted a flat black finish like the speakers these replaced. The wood is 3/4" oak veneer plywood from my local Home Depot. For a primer I used Zinsser B-I-N shellac base with black added to make it gray. Final coat was flat black Rust-Oleum Painters Touch Latex.
