want to build a pair of MTM speakers

[LilBassGuy 10+ year member]

I guess that makes sense. I figured find out which designs are 8 ohms first and then find out which have proven testimonials second.

What I have come to realize is that an MTM isnt a MUST, and I am sure there are plenty of MT designs that will be sufficient enough to be the mains for my apartment home theater. That will definately open up my options what will work with my reciever.

Plus, its an apartment, maybe the MTMs woulda been way too loud anyways.

Thoughts?

Probably tiny computer speakers are too loud for an apartment // hehe //

If it was me, I'd make the loudspeaker that gives me happiness and worry

less about it's ability to annoy people. SPL is controlled by the user and

the volume knob // hehe //

Creating big azz speakers is a jedi mind trick. If your friends see some big

speakers in the room, without even turning on the stereo, they assume it

is great and it cranks.

If you have small speakers, there is no glory as people never notice them.

hah...good points! Although, since it is an apartment, smaller speakers would probably be better as they take up less space.

And I will try not to piss my neighbors off too much, the point of the MTM was to create a somewhat "bigger" soundstage so I could keep the volume low but still feel like there was alot of noise there. See that was a noob way of putting it, but it made sense to me!

I wont mind if other people wont appreciate my small MT's, except that I dont want SMALL MT's, maybe mid-size ones. I want relatively big sound.

I would build a set of MT speakers first. You can always use them as surrounds if youre not satisfied with the output (doubt it though).

The cabinet dimensions of the Modula MT is 17H x 10W x 12.5D. I dont know about you but that is pretty big to me.
