Hello,
I don't necessarily have as high a taste for audio as the rest of the forum here but I do have a passion for building things rather then buying. The joy seems so much better. Anways this leaves me in a predictament because I want to build a some new speakers. I like the sound from my fathers JBL E-100's and the newer L series that has replaced them. In fact I liked these more then all the speakers I heard at Tweeters.
My question is then which speakers in the Mission Accomplished Section would be most like these? I guess you could say they are warm speakers which helps since I have a Yamaha reciever. Preferably I'd want something sealed because of the size issue and I know there is a difference in sound between the sealed and ported versions in the Mission Accomplished section.
I know I know its not the most ideal setup since the yamaha reciever (htr-5830) isnt the best by your terms but it suits me fine. I just want to have fun building my speakers and need a design to follow. Cost of course is a consideration so I would like to keep it reasonable, so less then $1000 or so total would be great. Cheaper is better and a sub is an option even though the E-100's are floor standers. I would like something that is sonically equivelent to the JBL's but smaller if possible (bookshelves + sub) if its feasible but I assume you guys know more than I do about this than I do.
P.S. I'm only interested in building 2 speakers and possibly a sub at this time.
