Thanks for the 'advice' though.
I'd love to know how you can remove troubleshooting from ... erm... ANY technical pursuit.
Methodical troubleshooting is the single most important skill in pretty much any real world technical profession.

Yes I know it is different. But what I am trying to say is that each has its own complexities and that is why we rely on forums like this where we can possibly get good recommendations. I mean that is what we expect.sure!
but it is completely different from speaker design.
in speaker design you deal with fundamental principles of acoustics and electronics. that's also the interesting and fun part of it.
in PC building you don't care about fundamental physics, you can (and must) rely on standardization.
You can by getting something working good and properly and not adding any thing to it or modifying it and running as it is for what it is meant to do. Trust me you won't be needing to troubleshoot the hardware if built right using reliable components.Thanks for the 'advice' though.

Okay getting back on track. If I am looking at something like dbx then I would also like ti get some amp recommendations which will be well within my budget. Dbx 6ch processor is inr25,000 so the amps must not exceed inr35,000-40,000 for 8 drivers.
You were given enough suggestions on the amplifier front as well. Read post# 483, that's the cheapest you can do.
But wouldn't car amps struggle to power 8ohm drivers. Like half the power of what they are rated at. Am I wrong.You were given enough suggestions on the amplifier front as well. Read post# 483, that's the cheapest you can do.
Bridge tie, my friend ...
Also, the mid / treble sections don't need more than 10-20W.

Price going up again. Okay will try find a decent deal on one.Bridge tie, my friend ...
now youve proved without a doubt, that you have no insight into even this area that you claim to know and I did it to fill in time for 6 months. Hell is other people and is it not obvious there are many factors you cannot control in the situation described and people come to you for a solution to their problem? Even with gear youve put out there, people do stupid things to their computers.You can by getting something working good and properly and not adding any thing to it or modifying it and running as it is for what it is meant to do.

even after all the discourse here, you are trying to give advice here; yet it is clear you have no real world experience.
agreedAnother reason to be considering DIY passive speakers rather than active.
ime, even totl active monitors are less musical, organic, relaxed then passive speakers.
indeed. i told OP the same thing yesterday. he will fail. oh well, at least we told himAnd yet it makes the most sense for someone who wants to build great speakers at a very reasonable cost, doesn't really have the experience to design them himself.
TOTL active monitors are not designed to be 'musical', organic, or relaxed. Not sure an AV system should be either if i'm honest (movies more than music).
true TOTL is musicalTOTL active monitors are not designed to be 'musical', organic, or relaxed. Not sure an AV system should be either if i'm honest.
just think its quite harder then people think to make active sound as musical as passive.
hmmm, I take musical to mean a bit euphonic. I would agree some are. mostly the British. ATC etc.
oh, thats definitely not what i meant 🙂hmmm, I take musical to mean a bit euphonic. I would agree some are. mostly the British. ATC etc.
musicality for me is the direct result of true hi-fidelity. it transports you to the show. you have no other choice but to listen. its almost so musical that you have no other choice but to actually listen too the performance. in that sense, musicality is the culmination of hi-fi. the tone must be precise, dynamics on point, bass that punch, ect. all this is necessary to give the real illusion of music.
Ahhh, yeah. def crossed wires there then. Damn subjective descriptions ... lol. I would just use captivating. its not an audiophile term though 🙂
Yeah right. Good luck with building a reliable and high performance pc which doesn't end up giving you blue screens and or high temp low performance or be performance limited all the time.
If you think PC building is that easy then I am surprised.
I have specified, built, commissioned and maintained more than one computational cluster out of racks of PCs parts. This included sorting the airflow through boxes and the air conditioning for the room. It was straightforward requiring no more knowledge than that picked up by competent computer users with general computer knowledge. I have also been a speaker DIYer off and on since the late 70s and I am still learning about how to design and manufacture better speakers.
When in your position in the 70s my first DIY speaker was a 3 way from a design published in a magazine. A year or two later I felt able to have a go at my own design of a small 2 way plus sub. Admittedly speaker design was more difficult then with none of the design software around today but even if it had been I am pretty sure I would have built a published design first. I don't think the complexity matters much if you are following someone else's design. What I didn't appreciate at the time was that many of the published DIY designs were not that good which I can see now but not at the time due to a lack of technical knowledge.
