My HiFi buddy came over to the house about a year ago, said I need bigger HT speakers, well he was right. After several attempts, these are what we came up with, speakers that sound expensive but actually are very affordable HT speaker(s).
What is shown is 3 mtm's with 2 - 6.5" SilverFlute (8ohm) and ScanSpeak tweeter.
This is the best of of several builds that were very similar - these are the easiest to understand and build.
We are really happy with these: great bass, highs and crystal clear dialogue. The mid bass does vibrate chairs and room :hsd: I really believe I'd be spending a kings ransom on store-boughts' that sounded as good as these.
Box sizes are 9.5" wide x 23" tall x 12" deep. Ports are 8" wide x 1/2" tall x 7" deep. Typical DIY speaker ploys with center brace and lined inside with felt. 5oz of teased speaker wool per each mid driver/section. Another plus, can cut a lot of 12 inch x 23 inch pieces out of a 4' x 8' sheet of mdf.
Finishing: spray oil, three (3) coats; Lowes still sells oil, Valspar, $9 bucks a quart.
SilverFutes woofer - $30 each
ScanSpeak tweeter - $50
