Now there's a blast from the past. That is one to play loud.

It's one of the ones where we drove the system up to a higher volume. ~90+dB at minimum, for that song. Probably closer to 100dB (don't want to annoy the neighbors!) You're right: it's meant to play loud. I think it's great for showing off the sound stage of these, because of all the effects that transition rapidly between channels. Those can easily sound rough on lesser systems.

I have a pair of speakers, close to the Pi4. I already had some drivers, but not what Wayne uses. But I needed to save cost, so I used what I had. The crossover I use is from Wayne. I ordered it built, with upgraded coils and resistors. The amp I use is a 35 watt Dynaco 70 clone. One of my favorite upgrades on the amp is the VTA Octal driver board using Octal input tubes. I use new old stock GE input 6SN7 and new phase splitter 6SN7 tung sol reissues.

I agree with most all the decriptions of the speakers. They sound great. Dynamics and power like no other. Now I am trying figure out what type of subwoofer to use.

What driver did you use? Your amp sounds neat; I'm going to build a tube kit of some sort in the near future. I don't think you can go wrong with the 3 Pi subs. Get two!
