Hi all,
I have been trawling around for information on building my own home theatre system for a few months now, thought I'd finally try to tap into some expert opinions...
I want to build a 5.1 system to go with a Yamaha RX-V673 (or 575 if I can find a good one on eBay). Ideally I would like to build speakers that can handle 150 watts at 6ohms with a reasonably flat response. Here's the catch though - I want to keep the build price below $1000 (excluding cabinets).
I have access to a workshop and so cabinet construction should not be an issue - providing that I can find cabinet designs that I can plug straight into the computer. I am proficient at electrical work (I do a fair bit of microcontroller prototyping), however would prefer to buy crossovers etc as complete units, or at least unassembled kits (unless anyone can provide a list of every specific component).
I would like to have two floorstanders (3 or 4-way?), two satellites and a passive sub.
So...can anyone recommend drivers, crossovers/components and cabinet designs for this idea? And also where to buy these from (preferably from within Australia - I'm in Perth)...?
Cheers everyone, I look forward to hearing your advice.
