The PI one is a nice little speaker. I've made it exactly as Wayne designed it, and I've made a couple of alternative alignments too. I personally prefer it to the model two just because I find the upper midrange to be a bit smoother.
JVF I'd suggest you build the ones just because they are very good. That said, they aren't a good house party speaker, unless you cross them over to subs. The two is a bit "punchier" sounding, still very portable, but if really loud or bass heavy music is going to be played, subs are recommended.
That said, both the three and four are great speakers. Both are big, heavy, and will outperform almost anything out there. The trade offs are lower bass response for the three and more efficiency for the four.. In either case, your costs go up significantly over the one and two PI's.
BTW the one and two speakers are easy builds. The woofers can be attached with screws. So go with Wayne's suggestion. The four is probably an ultimate party speaker, that happens to work great as an audiophile speaker too. But, since you have the parts for the ones, build them too. You'll enjoy them..
