Nelson, you made the right choice. JBL 2226 in this app is totally fine, and the DE250 is smooth as can be. I've got a homemade xover, too. It can be fun to play with later after they break in, if you feel the need.

Actuallly the 4pi is a very great loudspeaker!
The second loudspeaker was finished Sunday and I've been listening in stereo ever since. Lovely effortless and very dynamic sound reproduction. The 4pi throw a huge lifelike soundstage.

As the 4pi are going to stay in my system I will finish them attaching speaker terminals, wrap the cabinet with self adhesive vinyl film (wood style) and attach a removable front grill to protect the drivers when the kids are around.
Only the front, back panels and the port are made with black MDF, the rest is made using ordinary MDF. I really like the finish of black MDF and regret that I did not use it for all panels. So the stander for the 4pi will be made up of black MDF only and no further finishing.
The 3pi subwoofers will be taken into service soon (also need a front grill for protection.)
The speaker to the right is one of two Dali 310 loudspeakers and they only serve as backup and test speakers.

I like the looks of them in black too. Lot's of home theater guys do that, and it's really attractive. I've done 'em in black using paint (buffed smooth), Duratex and even a formica veneer. Each has a slightly different texture, and all look good. Black is a classic finish.
