I hope I'm not opening up a can of worms. I would like to upgrade my current system going the diy route. I enjoy projects. I currently have the Axiom M80ti, 150, and QS8. It has worked well for me, but I find the mains bright, and fatiguing at times. I also have an SVS pc+ sub. I believe my setup works better for movies than music. And I listen to music about 75% of the time.
I would like to start with mains, and cost isn't a huge issue. Although this will be my first build, I am patient and believe I can handle most of the designs. Plus, I have a friend who is a cabinetmaker in case needed. I have read many of the threads for different designs, and find myself wanting whichever design I am reading about at the time :roll:
My listening area is very large, since it is a great room design. Probably close to 8000 cf.
I also know I need room treatments, but it's very difficult to know where to start in such a wide open room.
My goal is to see how much I can improve on the Axiom's, but I really don't know what to expect. I get the impression these are mid-fi.
So, would I see a distinct improvement going with one of the great looking designs on here?
I assume monitors our out with my space. Are there recommended plans for that size of space? I'm trying to narrow the list down, if I don't go crazy first.
