I never got around to putting more listening sessions together with the 2pi's running as mains. I did get around to inserting them into their designated slots as surround speakers.

I am simply amazed at how they have opened up the soundfield in my theater. It's almost like I'm running front-wide channels, although I'm firmly planted in the 7.1 universe. The wide dispersion of the 2pi's is perfect for surround duty. I can hear every channel distinctly, but they blend and image across the whole rear of the room and mesh with the front main speakers.

They effortlessly reproduce explosions or gunshots, but also can recreate gentle raindrops and chirping crickets.

The other day I was giving a demo to some friends. I was in the back of the room at the equipment racks - actually behind the left side and left rear surrounds. Even from that compromised position I could clearly hear all four surrounds and the mains were still distinct and clear.

I could not be happier with the 2pi speakers. I am so glad that I did not give in to "horn hysteria" for my surround project.

In a nutshell, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
