Hi All,
New member here. Just signed up so I could get my hands on the latest version
of Room EQ Wizard and figured while I was at it...
My plan is to first treat my 12'x14'x9' listening room properly then build some good
speakers for it. Two channels only. A home theater in the basement is planned
further down the road.
I'd appreciate anyone pointing me to info on building speakers of the British hifi monitor
style. Two or three way. I just scanned threads here from the last year or so and
saw little of this style. I currently have a pair of KEF Q15's which I love but they're
on the small side. Something of similar clarity but with more power. My amp is a
NAD C340 (2x50w).
What's really important to me is clarity and imaging. I'd like to listen to a symphony
orchestra and be able to pinpoint the various instruments. I like to be able to "see"
the performers in front of me (be they rock, jazz or classical musicians) and don't
much like recordings where this is not respected.
All things being equal, would it better for me to have two smaller speakers and a
subwoofer (or two), or larger full range speakers ? I'll be sitting about 8' away from
the speakers.
I have a full woodworking shop and cabinetmaking experience so I can build just
about any kind of enclosure but would prefer a simple well-built box if possible.
