I mostly listen to LP and don't have a CD player at this time. My phono pre is a Hagerman Cornet and I'm running a Dynavector DV 20x HO cart. I have a Cornet 2 kit here that I haven't had a chance to build yet but that will have a step-up for low output carts.

I could always sell the Amp and go SET but that really isn't something I'd like to do at this point. The low power of SET would certainly limit my choices as far as speakers go and though I'm not one to crank the volume all the time I do like having that headroom, now I just seem to have way too much of it.

I've been to the Pi site in the past and obviously price is an advantage to these speakers/kits. I would go with the Pi 4 or 3 I'm thinking. Again I mostly listen to 60's, 70's and 80's rock, Stones, Who, Doobies, Beatles... I want the slam and kick but also just great sound overall. I also listen to jazz and some classical.
