I am interested in building a set of these speakers for HT :
I was wondering if anybody has any experience with them? Is it a good kit? I haven't done a lot of DIY stuff before, so I'm looking to get some opinions as to whether I would be better off trying something else. I currently have 2 subwoofers, so I won't need the speakers to produce any really low bass. I use a Kenwood Sovereign VR-5700 as my receiver, so I don't really have a "high-end" system. Just looking to get great surround sound without spending several thousand dollars. $1000 is probably about the max for me for a 5-speaker surround system(not including the subwoofer). I currently use Yamaha bookshelf speakers as my fronts, a custom built center channel using JBL GT4400 4" car speakers and tweeters(piezo I think?), some old boom box speakers as rear channels, a Dahlquist 12" sub, and a custom built sub using an 8" Pioneer car sub.
Any suggestions about what would give me great bang for the buck would be well appreciated. Also, if anyone in the Detroit, MI area has any DIY speakers that I could listen to, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your help.
