Is it possible to whip up a set of homebrew monitors at all, if I design the cabinets properly and use good drive units/crossovers/cables?
If it is (I think not but I wanna hear if it's doable) what should I be looking for? Has anyone done this sorta stuff? Or is it not worth time/effort. If it's not possible, why not?
My one fear is that they'll end up being speakers which sound good to me and me alone, and that I'll get mixes that sound good on the monitors but bad on everything else...
I'm currently monitoring on a JVC mini-system with all trimmings cut down, sounds OK in the car and on small stereos to me, if a little too much low end (small component systems seem to reveal a very 'low' low end) but OK otherwise.
