    Recommendation for new 2 channel project?

    I'm looking for something to add some sound to my family room. I want a couple of really high end speakers that look and sound great. I've built in translam before, and I have a method that makes really stiff, really heavy enclosures, and I'll probably use that method again. (I always like the Magico Minis)

    Let's start the budget at around $1K for components and crossovers. (no need to worry about the enclosure in the budget, I've got that covered) I'll be pairing with subwoofer, but they still need to sound amazing, on their own. I'm not really a true audiophile, so I just want something that's too good for me, and the room that I put it in. This will NOT be part of a surround sound or home theater system.

    Thanks in advance.

    OK, what didn't I ask properly?

    I've been out for a few years, so I don't know much about what the latest driver recommendations are. Scanspeak Revelators were en vogue last time I spent any time around here. Anyone still like those?

      Having been inspired by the Magico Mini's myself I built the Modula MTM's that Jon designed. They would certainly fit into your budget and they sound very nice. I don't know that your budget is going to get you into the really "high end" category, but you can get some great sound non the less.
      Hold on to your butts - It's about to get Musical!

        I don't know that I'd know the difference in really high end, anyway.

        I built a pretty awesome center channel using TransLam way back in 2013.

        DIY (Do it yourself): Cabinetry, speakers, subwoofers, crossovers, measurements. Jon and Thomas have probably designed and built as many speakers as any non-professionals. Who are we kidding? They are pros, they just don't do it for a living. This has got to be one of the most advanced places on the net to talk speaker building, period.


        Building with this method is my comfort zone.
