LOL, something like that....

I'd recommend getting:
-Yamaha RX-v1500

-Rotel RB-1080

-B&W 703's

oh and a Pure AV Power Conditioner...

I checked the msrp on the rotel rb-1080 and it was $1000. That is out of the question.

That is way too much. Right now I just got this nice sub and nice amp and enlcosure.

I want to spend another $500 and have my sub hooked up to a decent reciever, and have some speakers hooked up to the reciever as well.

Yea, I have an addiction and was raised on good gear so I can't go cheap. You should see the audio track lines I have on my arm where i shoot up....

Ok, so if you listen to a lot of stuff it makes picking out mains more complex than if you liked heavy metal or rap.... Building your own is a definate option, but it can be complicated because of picking speakers, deciding where to x-over at, designing a box etc etc.

I can build my own if I know what it is I have to build. I mean I have no idea where to xover at or how to make an enclosure for more than one speaker. I am asking around on hometheaterforum.com so hopefully I will get some help there.

That's why those two I linked to would be great for you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif A learning experience, cheap on the wallet, good sound and everything is already perfectly laid out for you.

Thanks. I am most likely going to go with the first one. Now all I need to do is get a reciever and I will be all set.

I wouldn't spend close to $1k on a receiver either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I just read everything and am going to go for it. I have never done anything like this before and hopefully I won't mess it up. My only concern is that the midbass seems to be tuned to around 37 hz. My mag will be playing all the bass notes so I am not sure if the midbass woofers are neccesary. I think I do need them to play between 80-2000hz probably and I am guessing the sild dome tweeter will play 2000hz-20,000hz. Is it bad to have a overlap between my sub and my midbass woofers?

Also, building this xover is going to be an experiance:crazy:

I haven't read schematics in awhile.

An overlap is far better than a hole - you can't attenuate what's not there to begin with //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Bah, schematics for Xovers are easy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Yeah, I think i can follow that. And yes a hole would be much worse..haha

Thanks for all the help. It will take me awhile to get all the parts and build this but it should sound nice. Also, will 1 be enough? Or should I build two of these towers? And if i build something like this do i still need the reciever? or can i just get an amp to power this and hook it up to my computer like i originally planned. I thought what someone was saying was that I needed to build xovers if i wasn't going to buy a reciever. Since i am building them now maybe i won't need the reciever.
