best diy or used somewhat small speaker 1200


I want to upgrade a pair of B&W 602s2's that are my mains for HT. I am running them with a Sunfire SG2 and a Sherbourn 5/1500a - 200wpc @ 8 ohm. I can do DIY, but would prefer to do a kit components to get 'matched' parts. Thanks

Truthrider, hope the Totem's do everything that you want them to and even more : ) Vince's "little" speakers with "little drivers" are kind of amazing so long as you don't want to raise the roof. Sean

Any thoughts on a center to compliment the Totems? Currently have a B&W 600 (the bigger of the two offered). I would like to build one in under the TV but I am limited to a box 6" tall. I would just build in the B&W components but they need a box that is 8" tall. My wife would LOVE to see the center get off of the top of our HT cabinent.
Personally, i think that the center should match the timbre of the mains as closely as possible. Given the fact that you have Totem's and Vince typically likes using smaller drivers to begin with, he just might have a slim-line design that could squeeze into the required space. Try dropping him a line or giving him a call. Sean

I have built a pair of 1801's. They are simply the most musically accurate speaker, bar none. They are better than anything! The big Wilson's and Thiels will put out more bass air, but won't be more musically accurate.
Unless you have a big room, these cannot be beat.
And they are less than $1k no matter how you go about it!
The 1801 is the best kept secret in the audio world!!!!
