welcome to the forum, i just finished my premium stage 4 pi's and am thrilled. i have more sound than i ever expected. since your going to use a very low powered tube amp you must build speakers with at least 100db sensitivity. i had a decware se84c with pi 7 corner horns(104db at 1w 1m ) and they played moderately loud. i'm now using an 18 watt per channel single-ended tube amp with my 4 pi's(99db at 1w 1m) and they crank, yet i still have my solid state amp for real parties. these speakers are great and will cost you about 25% of what you would pay at retail for similar speakers,if you build them yourself. they sound so good you'll want to turn them up loud, so build a more powerful tube amp. cheers, george
