Well, due to overwhelming popular demand, there's a new series of MTM's in the works here at Mission Possible. This will comprise some "conventional" MTM's and some with driver and construction to optimize for center channel duties, which isn't all that easy becuase of the typical dispersion issues that come up.
And of course, we'll have to do these designs with the current favorite bang for the buck drivers, er, uh, with a few exceptions approved or designated by yours truly... this isn't a democracy around here, you know! Well, not completely, anyway...
Being the fundamentally lazy guy that I am, as well as being way to tied up with a couple of projects that I've seriously over extended myself on, I'm going with PE cabinets again for these. Yeah, I guess that's sort of a sell-out for the hard core DIY crowd. You know who you are.
But can you make cabinets that look like this, in piano black, for example, at under $100 a pop? I can't either. It's not easy to catch in digital photography how these enclosures look and their high quality of fit and finish, but maybe this gives you an idea.
The two first projects in this series are an MTM with dual RS180's and SS D2904/6000-01 for the center channel configuration, and a stand up MTM
with dual RS180's and Seas 27TDFDC. The center channel is slated for my living room, and a friend wants a couple of these also for his living room and bedroom systems. The latter is probably also going to be used by someone else in the Bay area in a larger cabinet, something like a Thor TL design.
I don't think I'm going to have much down time this Xmax break, but on the other hand, I'll have some good projects to try out my Dewalt 621 router on.
I'll detail the info as it develops over the next two weeks, for those with similar needs or requirements.
