What is your favorite speaker to match with the 3 Pi subs? I'm looking to build two 1 Pi's and two 3 Pi subs, wondering if you recommend a different match. Also if you could send plans for both that'd be awesome! I plan on making it very aesthetically pleasing and would love to share photos when it's finished.

1. 1000-1500 USD (flexible here but do want to save some for a nice amp)
2. A nice hifi that can extend low but sound musical and fresh. I listen to jazz, classical, reggae, electronic, ambient and metal mostly. The subs are just for that extra hz, don't plan on cranking them often. They will be everyday listeners, I like a fun and detailed sound with good imaging. Some coloration is cool as long as the highs and lows aren't boosted wildly like some lower end studio monitors. I don't need them for hyper critical listening or a perfectly flat response. Audiophile quality vinyl / lossless files as well as terribly compressed mp3s from youtube will be played. Many meals and drinks will be shared around these ![Wink](/forum/images/smiley_icons/icon_wink.gif)
3. Room size Im actually not sure of since i'm moving in a few months, average living room size of a 1000 sq ft apartment which will be treated acoustically and have bass traps if they fit, but it will most likely not be an ideal size or shape room. The 3 pi sub box will remain the same in size / dimension, only thing that will be reshaped is the mains. I plan on making something similar looking to the klipsch la scalas, except that the folded horn would be the 3 pi subs with a nice grill or cloth and then making the mains similar in shape to how the top rectangular box looks, fitting the 1 pi mains in there. They will be on shorter stands if necessary to bring to ear level and my listening position is lower.
Thank you!
