Your comments are right in line with my impressions too. The two π model has a lot in common with Audio Note speakers. The bookshelf version is a little smaller , so has a slightly higher f3 and the tower version is larger, so has lower f3. But both models have the same tonal character as Audio Notes.
I also agree with you on the coil. I don't even offer a larger guage option because I prefer the 18gu coil.
The first speakers I ever built were one π and two π models. Those have been staples of mine for decades. Even after I moved towards uniform directivity designs, I've always retained the one π and two π models. They're simple designs that sound very good.
