Hey there guys (and ladies?)
My friend pointed me to this forum. I spent a lot of time at caraudio.com/forum till that project was completed.
My next project is my home theatre/stereo.
Here are my goals, and limits.
Goals:
Upper Middle quality sound, based on budget
Clear crisp sound. Non harsh tweeters smooth bass.
A setup that sounds great ins 5.1 stereo for good music, of all kinds.
Nothing to expensive or exotic
Speaker Goals:
Large bookshelfs for front 2 channels, 1x 1" or 1 1/8" dome tweeter (silk), 2x 7"-8" speakers.
Center Channel 1x 1" or 1 1/8" dome tweeter (silk) 2x 6.5 speakers
Sub channel will be a wicked one built from the website using recommended speakers
rears/surrounds 1x 1" or 1 1/8" dome tweeter (silk) 1x 4"
Limits:
The budget isnt for SURE but i would like to stay in that range.
Looking to spend 1500-1700$ on, receiver, and 5.0 speaker setup, the wicked one will be a separate budget and project.
This money budget gives me money for, 3 very decent tweeters, 2 decent tweeters, 6 very decent 7" (vifa/dayton) and 2 tweeters and 2 4" of less quality.
I have a 57in flat scree, HIDEF, DVI in tv. And I planned on running, HDMI > DVI converter from receiver to tv. And PS3 and HIDEF Directv HDMI into the receiver.
I am very knew to speaker building. I understand Ohm loads and things of that nature related to car audio, and I will be able to build all my enclosures and cover them in my own veneer.
My room in question is 15x20x9ish
My questions are:
1 tweet 2 mids per front channels? or should i go more mids like 3 or 4?
How do I port properly for in home?
I would like dark cherry look, and suggestions on good veneer?
How can i set up my speakers to be amped from my receiver and not a plate amp properly?
Whats a good receiver for 5.1, with 2 hdmi in 1 out? Ive been looking at onkyo and others, I would like a denon 2808 but for 700 ebayed thats still a lot.
ANY OTHER INFORMATION IS CERTAINLY WELCOME. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

As a suggestion with your budget if we says 300-400 is for the receiver that leaves like 1300 for speakers. You could probably build the Natalie P's and Modula MT's for that. Nat P's for the mains and then the MT's for the center and surrounds. Or if you like you could build a really nice set of mains and a center and add the rears later. Not saying the Natalie P's aren't nice but they are kind of the entry level speaker of the forums. But also the most popular I would say.
