I've been lurking for a while here, after deciding awhile back that the DIY route was the way to go.
I'm intending to eventually build my way into a 5.1 or 6.1 (potentially minus the .1) system, driving it with a Yamaha RX-V1 (got a smoking deal on it). The two(ish) designs that I've pared my list down to are:
1) Modula/Natalie-P (both have nice XOs, but I may implement RJB's 2.5 as middle ground between the two)
2) Zaph ZDT-3.5
Yes, I'm aware of the forum that I am asking this question of, but how do these compare? My wife and I are about 50/50 HT/music, if it matters. I'd say the room is 10ft x 30ft, but the HT is setup at the end, across the short wall (probably not ideal, but not much choice either).
If I can avoid it, I'll skip the sub. I thought also, if I did some Nat-P/Modulas, I'd try the TL enclosure in the Nat-P thread to firm up the bass. As the title states, I'll be starting with fronts, and maybe do a center if funds allow (aka if SAF is high - maybe she'll even let me do some MT surrounds!)
BTW, anyone own an RX-V1? Capable enough?
Cheers,
Jason
