Hiya.
I've inherited a bunch of mdf from one of our construction sites (I'm a contractor), and have a wild hair to try a DIY kit.
I currently have the Axiom M22's on stands with the 150 center and some in ceiling rears and a Hsu STF-2 sub.
I enjoy the M22's, but they do seem lacking as mains for full range music, and are a bit thin at times.
I haven't read the 1000's of pages of DIY threads and info (yet), but am more interested in just finding a kit for now. I don't want to get into the entire acoustical design realm yet. I do have a small but full wood shop though in my garage.
Anyway, most kits I've found through searches, or posts I've read, either refer to one or both of these factors: smaller bookshelves for stands, or "cheap" kits for the starving student.
I'd like a full range setup that doesn't require a sub, but would obviously be helped by one for the LFE of movies.
I must admit though that I want the "full range" portion for two channel music.
AND, I'm willing to spend upwards of $800 for the parts if needed.
4ohm is fine, I will pick up a dedicated 4ohm stable amp if that is the case.
Ideas? Links?
Thanks!!
