Yes, I pulled out all of the components and I start staining today. The speakers are made out of MDF as called for by Wayne's design. The plywood you see is for extra support because the Woofers and Horns are recessed to lay flush against the speaker.

You are also correct on the system. 4pi's with upgraded compression driver and woofer. Dual 3pi subs (Although I will not be able to flank the subs due to space issues and will need to use the subs as stands, no other option) and 2pi's in the rear.

I am running dual mono blocks from emotiva and an xpa-5 for my surround (three more channels if I ever decide on 7.2)

I decided to NOT make the subs passive. I bought 500 watt plate amps for the subs (due to space reasons).

I am running emotiva's pre-amp UMC-1

and everything is playing through my desktop computer with an upgraded sound card.

I live in a condo in North-Side Chicago. Let's hope I do not get evicted after this system is completed. When everything is done I will post pictures and video. I am very excited to hear how this is going to sound. I have never heard any pi speakers and am just going off the idea that Wayne's brillant mind created some amazing speakers.
