Reader Comments and Their Systems:
• This is a reader review of the Meridian DSP 5000 Speaker System."I would like to nominate the Meridian DSP 5000 speaker system. Though not quite as big or bad as the big brother DSP 8000 it is a great speaker. I bought these because keeping everything in the digital domain until the very last stage made sense to me. " A great speaker in some of the best home theater systems...
• A Reader speaker project. An easy two way monitor.I thought that I should share my two way monitor with your readers."I built a bookshelf speaker using this Dayton audio speaker box from parts express. If some of your readers try this project they should know that the cabinet will need some additional internal bracing but otherwise it looks pretty good. "
• Acourate and Console Software by Phil Hilebrand (New Jersey) "This is a room correction software that allows me to fine tune my room."
• Using the 18 sound 6 in Pro driver. This is a great midrange driver recommended by Josh from Boulder CO. "I recommend the 18 Sound 6ND430-16 or also the 8 ohm driver. Both of these drivers have very clean response, low distortion and are built to handle lots of loud abuse."
• A readers Active Digital Speaker Crossover ProjectI tried my first speaker building project about two years ago. It was a simple speaker that used a Dayton Audio speaker kit from Parts Express. The speaker was fairly easy to put together.
I think the most difficult part was cutting the hole for the speaker drivers. It used the passive crossover components that came with the kit. All in all, I was very happy with these speakers. I still own them in fact.
• Buyer Review of the Instrument 1 loud speaker system. I ordered your Instrument 1 speaker plans primarily because I thought 15.00 was a pretty reasonable price for something that looks so cool. The building process was pretty easy and I was excited to hear them when they were finally finished. All I really have to say is WOW... musical and makes my system sound like one of the best home theater systems I have ever heard!
• Using the Mini cube Speakers for computer speakers. "I built the mini cube speakers for my office PC. This was a fun project. Initally I tried to cut the pieces out with my chop saw (miter box) as you did in the photo. But I couldn't get the sides to square so I ended up using a table saw instead."
• Theta Casablanca Preamplifier processor review from owner. "I have owned the Theta CasaBlanca Pre/Pro for nearly 5 years. In that time it has seen several upgrades and has served me willingly and admirably. The sound quality is as good as it gets in my opinion. Of course the price is commensurate with the quality."
• Instrument 1 review response Comment response... Phil, I'm glad you are enjoying the speakers. They really are high performance floor standing speakers for the price.
• Thanks for the help with My Digital Crossover -it really was pretty easy to set up when I had the right equipment... "It took me forever to finally find a site that helped me work through this project. I feel I have a good understanding now if I have any updates or problems with my digital crossover system. My next step is to install some big hard drives into my other computer and build the HTPC as well."

Customer Testimonials:
"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.
My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA
"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.
Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.
I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.
The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.
I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.
The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.
These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)
"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn’t think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#110.159.58.99
"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 24.177.193.45
"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 130.225.22.254
"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 98.233.53.244
"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...
While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#76.208.13.182
"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 137.100.121.30
"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.
My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#98.179.199.26
"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.
Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142
"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!
I feel like I have stolen speakersthat I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
