Finally after having the completed shell and intestines in storage for over two years, I finally decided to complete my two Pi towers.

Initially I wanted them as front speakers together with three one Pis for a Home theatre system, but I was discouraged at what my HT amplifier delivered. I will use them therefore for stereo only.

The reason that I had them away for so long was that I really wanted to have them veneered, but I eventually changed my mind and had them painted. After completing them, I hooked them into my Denon Amp and man what a sweet sound. I'm impressed Solid Bass, clear mids and crisp highs, the piezos sound just fine. I,m sure they will sound even better when I change the amplifier for a better one.

I haven't heard of any other builders of PiSpeakers in South Africa, if there are any near me, I will be glad to hear from them. I am in Pretoria.

I tried to put pictures on the web and I hope you can access the URL below. I painted them with one coat wood primer, one coat universal undercoat and three coates of Plascon suede, a translucent type paint that gives a 3d effect. I applied the finishing coat with a hard brush to give it a slight wood grain effect. I will try to varnish it by this week end.

The one pis are incomplete as I cannot find 60mm cardboard tube anywhere. If I don't, I will settle for plastic.

Thanks for all your help over the years Wayne.

That's super, Oscar! Thanks for posting. If you still can't find the port tube, let me know and I'll mail one to you.

Thanks Wayne

To be honest, I have not looked that hard. My ideal ports would have been the ones you buy at the electronics shop. What I really need though is logos for all 5 speakers, but I'm not in a hurry. I may be ordering some crossover networks from you in the future, maybe then I will ask for evrything else I need.

Cheers
Oscar
