Seems like a lot of trouble and expense for a speaker system that only goes down to 65Hz.
I don't understand why you're auditioning $25 junk speakers in the first place - that's too low-priced to expect any type of quality. Then you swing too far in the other direction with a home-built $500 system that won't sound any better than many $200 - $350 active systems already available. If you want cheap computer speakers that actually sound decent, look for a set of Boston Acoustics BA745 - you can find them on eBay for less than $50. It has a sub, though. A great-sounding sub/sat system is the Acoustic Energy Aego-M, $200 new. Then there are larger self-powered systems that don't require a sub, like the Audioengine 5, $349 and rated to 50Hz: http://www.audioengineusa.com/news.htm The Swan M-200 active monitors are rated down to 55Hz and can be found at newegg.com for $189 There are also some good nearfield monitors from companies like Mackie and Edirol. If you like to tinker, go ahead and build your own! But don't expect them to outperform the excellent active speakers available commercially. -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30087 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
