I think I would like to build the speakers for the little media room I'm setting up. I have the woodworking skills and equipment so that's not an issue. If you guys were working with a budget of $1000.00 or so for the drivers and crossovers to build a 5 channel system, what would you go for?
The Kit 281's look good to me but I think I read that their center channel isn't timber matched to the towers. Do I have that right? I'm pretty particular about timber matching all the speakers in a surround system. I thought about using another Kit281 as the center but I don't have anywhere to put it. I'm not overly concerned about size and SAF isn't that big an issue either. The only real constraint on size is being able to mount the rear channels high up on the wall without them looking stupid or banging heads.
I already have a Shiva and 250W PE plate amp that I need to build a box for so that is covered. I might do a second one at some point though.
Thanks in advance for any help!
