I am in hopes of keeping my budget to 500 or so. Reason being is that the retail speakers I liked, and was almost ok with dropping the cash for, were about 650.00, so using my kind of logic, I would think I would be able to build a comparable, or even slightly superior speaker, for around 500. I have been building speaker cabinets for a long time (mostly sub enclosures of every kind) so I am confident in making the cabinets myself. Power wise, I only have 50WPC (Marantz so that's a bit conservative) at 8ohms, so I am looking for a higher sensitivity design. I listen to mostly music, some movies, but am constantly moving around so one of the most important design aspects would be a wide dispersment. For this reason I am particularly drawn to waveguide speakers.
What are your thoughts?
