Firstly I'm really pleased I found this forum, seems like a good place to be.
I've always had decent (ish) speakers, mainly for home cinema, but I'm really keen to do a DIY build.
My plan is to build a part storage wall in my living room and actually build the speakers into the storage unit so they are really discrete.
I'm happy to spend around £2k on the speakers (stereo pair) and they will mainly be used for listening to music. Then maybe buy a prebuilt sub, and amp? As I don't want to build everything if I don't have to 🙂
I've watched a few youtube videos and read a few bits on the internet, but I'm not really sure where to get started.
Any recommendations, pointers, advice, obscenities 🙂 would be hugely welcome, as you can probably tell, I don't know what i'm doing.
Thanks in advance

There's no clear set of instructions but if you plan to build speakers into a wall there is potential for a good result. I hope you find it.
Hmm, I don't even know what baffle compensation is... I'm probably in over my head. I'll plough on though 🙂
Good, you'll be fine.
These speakers were not designed to be placed in a wall. Their bass wraps around the cabinet and will seem reduced. This crossover will be pulling down the treble to compensate.

Ok, I think I semi know what you mean. Do you think I can do something to resolve it or will the sound just be compromised? Also don't reply if this is not the place to chat about this I can move it if there is a more appropriate sub forum

Yes, you can manage it one way or another.
