I think lots that are on this forum have a few sets of speakers and recievers pre amps and pre pros and power amps. I know I have a few piles and I am in lust with Jons Mt8a and need to learn a few new construction techniques.
One is I like pine and fir so I started looking at them. Next step was to pick up fir panels laminated from 3/4 stock and laminate 1/4 hdf to the pine and cut all long edges to 45' miters. Now I have mitered panels to work with and I substituit them for ply or mdf and glue into boxs. Then use the method of layer that Thomas describes on a thread to put bracing in from the bottom to top. Glue top and bottom plugs in and fire up router cut all openings. Install 4" bottom firing port, stuff and install the xovers and drivers, hook up system, listen adjust and enjoy and then say ok whats next.
Okay, I decided lto do a listening test. Digital panny sa xr25 with a digital satillite input driving in 2 channel Vifa 2 way TM vs Sony MD into a Velleman hybrid preamp driving a Behringer europower 1500 with Vifa 2.5 way TMMW rear ported speakers. Really apples and oranges but fun.
Results, panny and 2 ways are a clear winner in price and have a more noticable bottom end. The 2.5 ways and big power are great sounding and can be enjoyed for hours and hours. No sub needed on either system. More experimenting with systems are always ongoing. :T
