Hello all!! I'm new to the forum here and semi new to HT. This looks like the place to be concerning HT!
A little background: I am 29 yrs old and currently living in an apartment with my girlfriend. I currently own an older Onkyo HT system that I pruchased from CC years ago. Also with the audio system I have an older Sony DVD player (with a built in DTS decoder) and a 32" sony TV. I am really into car audio, but now that it looks like I might be settling down I'm gearing up to build my own HT system.
The questions I have deal with audio only for now. As of now I am more than happy with the video side of things. My tv looks great (to me anyways) and I am more than happy with the dvd player. Also, just for giggles I have a modded xbox that is hooked up to the Onkyo reciever and sounds pretty good.
First question is dealing with speakers. I have built many sub boxes for my car and I kinda have a guy that does the design work for me. As of late he is getting into HT also and has built some impressive speakers. Here is a link to his HT page. Linky. What is everyone's opinion of building something along these lines for my front towers and subwoofer? I know he is going to finish building the surround sound when he gets the time. Is this a good way to go? I know in the past his sub boxes, although elaborate at times, sound AMAZING!! I really think I'm going to go this route unless someone can point me in a different direction.
Thanks in advance for the help. I hope to be a part of this forum for a long time. I think I'll start reading everything I can here and see what I can learn. There seems to be a lot of useful info here!!
