What is there to say...

[haver]

Well, here I am, new member of the Home Theater Shack, and I decided to start participating.

I'm a teacher living in the Great White North©, more specificaly in a small and remote inuit community of Arctic Quebec called Kangiqsualujjuaq.

And in case you haven't noticed, I'm a french speaker so you'll have to be lenient with my english!

I've been mostly interested in home theater and hifi audio for the last year. My goal is to acquire both a hifi system and a home theater for my family's enjoyment.

I currently possess the following equipment:

Sony 27" Wega TV
Arcam CD72 CD player
Toshiba SD3800 DVD player
Denon 785 AV receiver
Canton Movie MX10-II Speakers

I'm looking to change/add the following in the next year:

DIY Full Range Fostex Fe103 Spiral Speakers (in the making)
Arcam/Rotel/Musical Fidelity Integrated Amplifier
DIY Home Theater Speaker Set (I'm not too sure about what to make for this project...)
Sony 50" SXRD Rear Projection TV

I'm mostly active on a french Quebec a/v forum but I will make an appearance here too.

Any Question?

First of all, welcome to the shack! Your english is perfectly okay. It would be great to see some pictures of progress with your DIY speakers. What finish were you thinking? I too am working on a DIY project and haven't decided whether to paint or veneer.

Just one... are you sure that's right?

Oh, I am very sure that the name is right! After six years living here, I kinda learned how to write it right.

As for the speakers I'm making, I will post pics at a later time. The finish... I'm not too sure. I might simply paint them.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.. don't do it!
Making them unique/pretty is part of the process.
Well, at least it was for me.

Welcome and stick around. I look forward to seeing how your project progresses!

Welcome to the Shack.
I see you of your future amp choices us Musical Fidelity, great HiFi amps - only wished they would make a multi-channel version.

You shouldn't worry. Even if they are only painted, they WILL be unique! I can assure you of that.
