Hello,
I have been reading posts here for a while and have learned a ton of valuable information.
I built speakers a long time ago, and was very happy with the results, I would like to do that again.
I understand that speakers are usually better placed away from the back and side walls.
Unfortunately, my current setup (and to help with the WAF) does not allow for that, and I have to put the front and center channels into built-in cabinets.
I have attached a picture so that this is all clearer.
The TV is a 65" JVC DILA TV (12" deep) and the speakers around it are Vandersteen 2CE.
There is also, under the TV, a VCC Vandersteen center channel.
The spaces where the Vandersteen front are currently located are 47"H x 18"W and 12" Deep.
I cannot install the speakers into the next bookshelves, as we have books coming to line these up.
(Some books show already on the bottom of each side)
I would like to build speakers that can mostly fill the space on each side of the TV, and sound great.
The Vandersteen are great speakers, but cannot be used in these conditions therefore I will sell them.
I am thinking MTM designs would be good and allow for some great speakers with ample power.
I usually like to listen fairly loud (neighbors are not an issue since this is a house).
This will be used to listen to music (all sorts) and as a home theater speaker set. (5.1)
Last but not least, I will have to redo a center channel.
I can put it on the bottom, or immediately above the TV. (Vertical space is 6")
Can someone please help me understand which designs would work well for these conditions?
The speakers will be against the back of the bookshelves, and will be "enclosed" on each side as well.
I am not sure which speakers will work best in these conditions.
I truly appreciate all the expertise that is available on this forum and look forward to hearing your suggestions.
Thank you.
Arno
PS: posted on another fora, but I figured this is a good place to start as well. Thank you.
