OK, I want to try my hand at building 2 each 18" subs and 1 each center channel speaker that is as clear (voices) as any movie theater speaker. I have the flagship receiver from Onkyo, about 6 years old now, (TX-NR5009 $2995) which has great amps and I still have to turn the volume way up to hear voices and then it is too loud from all the other speakers and yes I have the speakers calibrated using Radio Shack Sound Meter. I have a hearing deficiency and need a really good center channel speaker. My speakers now are all PSB in my 7.2 system. Room size is 17' x 17' x 18' (vaulted ceiling). I know the ceiling is not good but my Home Theater is my family room so I have to live with it. I have a projector with a 120" wide screen.
I need your recommendations for the subs and center channel speaker. My budget is $500 per speaker or $1500. Hopefully I can build some top notch subs and a great center channel speaker for that price. Right now I am using 2 each 12" subs from M&K. When it comes to the LFE sound they really get boomy, loose and blurry, not tight and fast like a movie theater. I will need really good directions and pictures on how to build these as I have never done this before but I am pretty good at woodworking as long as I have good directions. I will also need specific model numbers and hopefully links to where I can buy everything. Thanks for all your help, I know you won't let me down with good suggestions. You have always been gracious with your time and knowledge in the past and I am sure you won't let me down with your suggestions. Have a wonderful evening to everyone.
