Well got a few bucks and am able to order another 2pi and a 1pi kit. This will finish my L/C/R. I can't wait =)

Will the L/C/R setup be 2 2 Pi's and 1 1 Pi? They should offer a very coherent soundfield, best of luck on the build.

Yes the L/R will be the 2pi studios on stands and the 1pi will be center. Then when I get some more cash 2 more 1pis for surrounds. It is a Home Theatre set up.
Thanks for the well wishes =)

Having speakers with the same sound quality should be nice.

I may have issue with my current center channel speaker. More testing is needed to see if I just need to turn it off or turn it down. The center channel opening is not big enough for any Pi speaker offering.

BTW, I just registered for Zune Pass and downloaded the software. It should be pretty neat. It beats listening to 10 seconds on Amazon to determine if a song is any good.

Made allot of progress this weekend. The boxes are assembled and insulated. The baffles are routed except for the offset on the woofers. I am waiting to get the woofers before I route it. Speakers should be here Weds and should be listening to the pre finish speakers this weekend. Now I am REALLY EXCITED =P

Yep finished routing my baffles and fine sanded the ports for a nice tight fit. Tommorow or Fri I will drill press for the "T nuts" and glue on the baffles. Will hopefully have them sanded to a ready to paint by Sat night or Sunday.

I also cut the PVC and have 2 base parts for my speaker stands cut. Will hopefully have them together and ready to paint by Sun also.

Thought I would put up a cpl pics of my speakers. All thats left is final sand and finishing. I am REALLY afraid of painting as I am not that good and would hate to make them look funky at this point. They really sound great and have made my HT come alive.

I will fill the pvc with sand to add additional weight to the stand. Then I will have to find some spikes or something I suppose. The finished height with speaker is 41" this seemed just about right for the listening area.

The placement in my room. Can you make any suggestions as to a possible better placement? Should I raise the center some? I have it angled slightly. Gotta love that plasma TV glare =P

I put a sleight round over to all the front edges which really made it nice IMO. I wish it showed better in the pic.

My wife really likes them. She says they are cute and look like little robots LOL. She says she notices a big difference.
Will post finished product when I get around to doing it. I am going to try to put allot of thought into how I want to fianlly do it.
