Dang, I had a bunch wrote out and went to preview it and backed up and it was gone. Oh well.
Anyways I dont think I can type it like it was again so I will do the best I can.

I finally got around to finishing my One Pis , in short I my expecations have been exceeded by quite a bit. Ive build quite a number of speakers over the years and these are the best budget speakers ive ever heard. The Audax HT surround speakers I build many years ago were about $180 a pair for the parts and they did not sound half as good as these.

I could easily live with a bunch of these One Pis for my HT speakers. This is one hugely under rated speaker, most of the hype talk over at the HT forums has been about some internet companies like Axiom , AV123 ,..then you have your budget usuals from Paradigm and a plethora of other companies. It takes a number of years and some will to be able to extract yourself from the "popular" choice and make your own decision.
So often much of what gets sold is based soley on word of mouth and sadly alot of the word that gets spread is from newbs who cannot hear worth a snot or the owners of the companies themselves.

I am by no means an expert but I have been around the block and I have heard 30,000 a pair speakers on down to these One Pis.
Some speakers are worth their money and some are not....but a special few are worth more than their cost. These One Pis fit in that category IMO.

I had them set up as mains for awhile and now they sit in their home as my surrounds, nothing special about the finish, its just Rustoleum Hammered Finish paint.
Once again , thanks to Wayne for the plans and support.
