Another DIY'er in the ranks!
Hello All,
I got wind of Toid’s DIY as I was looking to upgrade my LCR in my little home made theater. I had recently built a DIYSG Kuda 18 subwoofer and was looking into the HT-10’s to replace my front three to keep up. Unfortunately, I got frustrated with stalking the site waiting for things to come into stock and I found this 650 “Klones” and it seemed like an excellent fit for my goals.
My room is ~13’x17′ and I’m running a JVC RS1000 (NX5) throwing ~16′ onto a 125″ 2.35:1 DIY Carl’s Flexiwhite screen with a 11′ viewing distance. My current audio setup is 7.1.4 running an Onkyo RZ730 for the base layer with the ATMOS pre-outs to an Onkyo TX-NR708 for my in ceiling speakers. I’m using BIC Acoustechs all around with the HT-63’s for my side and rear surrounds and an HT-65 center (2×6.5″ woofers) and HT-64 bookshelves for L&R. These things have been awesome for the past 10 years or so, but the “itch” sort of started once the Kuda came in.
I have a fair bit of experience making speakers and subs from kits (I’m on my third pair of C-Notes). I’ve learned a lot from AVSForum over the years as well (joined in 2008). I have a habit of finding old vintage stereos and restoring/recapping them as well with my favorites being the usual suspects of Pioneer, Marantz, Kenwood and Sansui.
I hope to contribute here where I can and pick up more as I go.
Thank you to 123Toid and this community for the opportunity.
