Greetings,
I'm looking for a good quality "budget" Hi-Fi bookshelf kit - ~150$ total (shipped to Israel incl. cabinet, XO etc...). I might even go for additional Center channel kit if I'll find a good source - in that case I can take the overall budget to around 250-300$ total. They'll be connected to a computer source through a Class-D TA2020 based amp. (Bi-Wiring will be preferable) but I might consider building a stronger power amp. if needed (more to the 100W per channel arena). They'll be used as front speakers at first for 50/50 Music/Movies on a low-moderate volume inside a small living room and I already have a Sub-woofer in the system. In the future I might upgrade the front pair and move these to the back as surround speakers. I'm living in Israel and prices here for decent bookshelf/monitors is pretty high - even as 2nd hand (which I won't mind). As a reference point (for price and quality) - I can get a pair of brand new Cerwin Vega VE-5M at around 120$ and a slightly used pair of KEF CODA 8/Cambridge S30 or equivalent at around 250-300$ So the DIY kit should give a significantly better price/benefit to justify the extra effort (budget is highest priority but quality should be within the above range). I'm a newbie speaker builder but won't mind fiddling with the building, I do have experience with electronics and good kit building skills. The only problem is with the "wood working" mainly since I don't have the working space, time or tools to make the cabinets from raw materials so I need a kit that has at least the parts cut to size. I can probably take simple cabinet sketches to a local workshop and have these custom cut for me - but I'm afraid it might consume large portion of the already limited budget. Any recommendations/insights/links or other suggestion for this project and budget? Is it even feasible within this constrains to "compete" with the tuned and tested commercial models I mentioned above ? Thank you, Gal Last edited by Galgo; 20th May 2010 at 09:25 AM. |
