I wish I ran a shop!!! That is my dream job.

The best place for you to go is Entertainment Solutions in Rookwood Commons...

Talk to Julio, he is a great guy and will help you find what is best for you! There also is some super good deals right now on the B&W 600 S3 because the new S4 just came out...

im thinkin about building my own stuff to be honest....peerless hds 1" tweeter, dayton x-over, and possibly the cdt m6+ driver. i already have the hds and dayton x-over....im just lookin for a a 6.5" driver that puts out as much midbass as the m6+ does. i havent been able to find a driver that does so far so idk....do you have any recommendations?

ps - really reallly random question....but when you're building a speaker cabinet...do you use a router to make the whole for the speaker?

yes a router is best. perfect circles and you can countersink the drivers.

well pretty much b&w would be to scared to do his //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Nice unit, it is huge as it uses a standard ceramic magnet and a bucking magnet to sheild it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Besides weight and size, how do you like them..?

i think their good well worth the price over all. but i do notice a slight harshness and sometimes i can hear distortion in the high end at any volume. its not their with all types of music so i dunno if its just the recording or if its the tweeters. when i first got them one was harsh all the time which is that one. then def tech sent me a new one and it fixed the problem.

i am seriously considering buying some b&w 804's or some thiel cs2.4's. i am going tomorrow to demo the thiel's ive never heard them and a place about 20 minutes away has them in the showroom.
