On the bright side, I had my tech fix my Dynaco SCA-35/ST-70 and McIntosh MC-240. I have been idle on the audio front, so no extra (cookie jar) money has been available. I am still trying to scrape every penny for the BIG EVENT (MAF).

Wayne, it would be nice in the future if I had the money to build the 10 Pi's, but I am not even sure they would fit in my tiny living room (12' x 16' x 8'), I guess that would be like "Nearfield" listening??? I will see what the future has in store for me, Maybe I should work for you and build Pi speakers in the Ohio area, have TillE build my cabinets, and I install and wire them up and deliverly too!

I want to try some experiments soon with some Peavey FH-1's I have and also want to cut down a (homemade) A7 (Altec) clone cabinet down to a clone of a 816.

Wayne, I have one more question for you, I would like to build a pair of 2 Pi's, but I want to tone down the "Hot sizzle" in the piezo. Looking at your 1982 4 Pi schematic, and thought I might try that filter section you used on the piezo. (2 ufd/10 ohm - 1.5 ufd/20 ohm - 1 ufd/25 ohm) I am sure you remember that circuit, just thought I would throw the values at you again. I hope to try that sometime in the near future. The piezo is too shrill for me without it, maybe my old-ass ears are the problem!!! When using Altec/JBL compression drivers and horns with rolloff around 14khz to 16khz, I suffer less listener fatigue compared to the 2-pi sound.

Wayne, if you had room on your site, would it be possible to post older Pi systems (Vintage/retro) from the old days for some of us vintage fans??? Okay, my 2 cents worth for the moment, nice to hear from you guys again.

Well, that's it for now guys,
