I'd like to build a pair of Statement minis. I have no woodworking experience, however, so it makes sense to me to start a bit smaller. Can anyone recommend a good first speaker for me to build? I'd like a smaller size speaker that I will use as my mains initially. If that build goes well I'll move them to rear surrounds and tackle a statement LCR project. As surrounds, they would likely need to be wall mounted in my space, so it seems the statement monitor might not be the best choice. Are there any other designs that would match the sound of the statement series well, but allow for wall mounting and be a good starter project?
Also looking for advice on tools - I'll have to acquire several for any new project and I'd like to keep the price as low as I can. I don't have space for a table saw - Can I expect to make good enough cuts with a circular saw and a long straightedge? Would this router be adequate? I don't know much about routers yet and have been looking around mostly based on price. Any experience with harbor freight clamps(here and here )? Are they sturdy, or do you get what you pay for? Any advice about how many to buy, and what size? Any other references for tools at good prices?
Thanks!
