I figured I could get the most for my money if I did a DIY project, so I posted here. I think the title is pretty clear...I'm looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers to buy or build (used/new, whatever) for $150 OR LESS (which I want to include everything).
The reason I set my budget at $150 is because of the Dayton BR-1 kit. I wanted to see if there was something out there better for the same price (or less). Here is what I'm looking for:
1. Bookshelf, not too big (I'll be in a dorm)
2. Must be good for music, games, computer usage, movies, etc. (Mostly metal, btw)
3. Decent bass (in the event I can't fit a sub)
4. Best SQ for the $, though I prefer something that is easy on the ears, maybe a bit warmer, but with plenty of clarity (not too laid back) and such to bring out some more powerful elements in whatever I'm using them for
Remember, $150 or less. This can be a used speaker, new, DIY project, something someone put together and no longer needs, a commercial/pre-build speaker that sounds comparable, modified pre-build speaker...whatever. I'm just trying to see if there is something out there that beats the Dayton BR-1 kit for the money (even if it's a similar design that simply doesn't come in kit form). Any recommendations?
