Dear friends I am interested to built a pair of Pi speakers and I will post some pictures of my living room in order to visualize the space and the choose the correct type .
Some info about me first ...
I am the type of audiophile who doesn't change his system as far It plays ok this had lead me to own equipment (same amp and speakers) about 20 years.Now I believe its time to change my speakers.Reading almost 30 pages of pi speaker forum and I plan to read all I am considering pi two model or tower or three but it is expensive for me this period of time .Model two reviews from builders are convincing (one of them compared with audio notes anj and that was enough for me to choose)and I think I will procced with model two because of the easy construction and why I am used all these years listening from tweeters and I believe is a safe bet.
Below is an hard scetch of my living room.Sory for the Greek language and metric, I have attached some pictures also to help you somehow.

I believe pi model 2 is suited best but read that pi 2 tower might be a candidate but I am afraid of the extra lower bass dominate my small space.

My audio equipment is an audion sterling el34 se amp about 10 watts 20 years old,my speakers are Proac tablette 50's also 20 years old, my dac is musical fidelity v90 and my digital transport a humble raspberry pi.

Some reviews are for the newest models so mine are a notch or two down on apreciation.

So I am intrigued from Π speakers and looking for the apropriate guidance.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English it is not my native language .
I am willing to answer what ever question you provide .
My music tastes are blues , some jazz ,greek folk music classic rock and what ever is interesting.
