I'm a brand new poster but I have been researching this site along with others over the past couple of weeks. I wanted to do a lot of research before posting that way hopefully I can ask questions effectively and not waste too much of your time.
I'm really interested in diy speakers but don't really have the time/desire to design a full setup for myself. I much rather build a design that is already finished and many people like. I'm looking for a 5 speaker ht setup perferrable with a center, floorstanding mains, and mono or dipole bookshelf surrounds. I have already decided to go with a TC-2000 sonotube so that is taken care of.
The problem I currently am having is the shear amount of info and speaker designs that are available. I'm thinking of just diving in and creating a few MT speakers to test. Later, the speaker I like most can be used for my surrounds and then I can build the mains and center based upon my decision.
So here is what I am looking for:
2 or 3 MT designs that have a matching main and center channel already created. I'm currently looking at the Dayton RS TMWW mains but I need to figure out which tweeter fits my needs, either the Seas or Dayton. I've looked at the Natalie P and Modula MTM designs but I'm not sure they will provide me with enough depth and SPL headroom I need.
It would be fair to say that I do not know what excellent speakers sound like because all I have experience with is a Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 PC speaker set. Its been great to me but I'm ready to begin building a real ht setup. However, I do know that I have a sensitivity towards higher frequencies and therefore would try to stay away from speakers that tend to be "bright" or "forward" (as some people would say.) This is the main reason for me to build a couple of designs to see what fits my needs best.
Here are only a couple of things I am considering: (tons more than listed)

Zaph has some cool designs and wish I could try them, but I couldn't find any mains/center to match them up with. I would appreciate any help and direction you could give me. Thanks.
