hi
I would like to build a full range speaker for my living room 15 by 13 feet. At the moment I have my sons B&O floor standers which sound great however they are to large (not wife friendly), will some metronomes or Fonkens on stands sound up to the job. I like to hear vocals, not into massive bass. The woodwork should not be a problem I have pretty good diy skills and tools. But I suppose the main question is which speaker to choose. I am a tad confused I guess, I don’t want to buy some and then regret not getting some other type, so which gives best bang for the buck, cost is not too much of an issue I see most Fostex sell up to £150 so that’s about the max .
hope somebody can steer me in the right direction.
enough ranting for now hope it makes a sence
cheers
