3 Jordan JX92S fullrange units would be simple to implement and provide great sound. Sealed cabinets would be fine. Basic 18mm MDF cabinets painted nice would be easy enough to do it seems from your skills.
Not sure where you get that figure from, I was quoted about half that when I spoke to them a few weeks ago.
ok cool i will contact them direct for a price this is where i got that price http://www.hifisound.de/oxid/oxid.p...67601652/E.J.JORDAN JX 92 S FULLRANGE DRIVER/

God knows what you are putting into Google then! Jordan's site is in the top 5 hits every time when I tried all the combinations I could think of.
i found the jordan site but i was looking for a site i could buy online that was all anyway emailed them £190 for 3 including postage
cheers

🙂 Should be a nice result in the end, your system will absolutely murder that Denon stuff! In fact it will have some extremely fine qualities that it takes £k to match, just hope you appreciate it/it's your taste.
I would go a smidge bigger than 3 litres - your initial 3.5 would be ideal. Then use them fairly close to a rear wall and with your sub the blend will be seamless and the result beautiful.
On their own you'll see about 80Hz which is surprisingly acceptable as long as you aren't a midi flashing light hifi fan.

200*130*130. is it mm and outside dimensions? That will give you less than 1,5 liter and nothing near the 3,5 liters mentioned above
would these speakers http://www.madaboutsound.com/prod_det.asp?product_id=13 be close to the jordan jx92s cause they are a good bit cheaper are they suitable for a small enclosure?
Ive had a lot of luck with vifa 3.5 inch drivers from their TC line. they have a wonderful sound as a full range satalite and work from boxes 0.7 litres to 4 litres. so your current dimentions are fine. min 9 mm mdf
I honestly don't know what those size figures are in inches, but here's a project with relatively small size compare to other speakers.

A bit low in efficiency but will actually go lower than most other small satellites about the same size. Definitely cheaper than the Jordans as well.

I said 3.5 litres because that's what I thought he mentioned earlier on.
The CSS drivers are OK, but I would rather spend the extra and be sure of being more happy. The Jordan's have more excursion and a bigger cone and will generally go deeper and louder.

one last question before i go buy the jordan are they going to be much better than these speakers http://www.mordauntshort.com/ranges.php?RAID=6&Title=Genie because i can get them for around the same price as i would pay to building the jordans with less hassle
thank you
thank you
Personally I am a big fan of the JX92S. I found their imaging and coherence like nothing I had experienced before, even though I have decent Kef Uni-Q drivers in my usual speakers. The bass from them is also very tuneful.
They can sound a touch bright and if you start cranking them on some female vocals it can get a bit hard sounding, but I think that's just pushing them too far. And you do have to crank them a fair bit to get like that.
It comes down to what your tastes are and what you look for in a speaker. I ignore ratings in magazines especially What Hi-Fi as I have found them largely to be pretty random in what they recommend.
