Build a Home Theater and Home Speaker System that's better And For Less Money!

home-speaker owner Peter Selby picture Hello,

This is an online guide designed to help you with topics related to build a home theater, home theater computer, (HTPC), and home stereo speakers system. My goal is that consumers become well educated about all issues related to Home Audio.

My name is Peter.

Here are the main Subjects that I plan to address on This Audio/Video Help Site:

    Help us make this site better; we value your opinions -help us improve.

    1. To apply the latest and most advanced technologies like the Home Theater Personal Computer(HTPC) and how it can help your home theater room acoustics and music systems sound and video performance.

    2. To introduce a better way to buy speakers or build home theater speakers and stereo speakers. Buying retail speaker systems is not your only choice regarding Home Audio.

    3. To help you assemble a home theater system that is superior and for far less money than retail audio/video systems.

    4. To look at the latest LCD LED, HDTV display technologies, help you understand them, and show you how to get the best HDTV set for your needs.



What I Hope that this Home Speaker site Will Provide for You:

I don't claim to know everything about these subjects and I am sure that some of you will have valuable advice and content to offer.

In fact this site is more of a resource than anything else. This is a place you can come to learn about topics relating to Building a Home Theater or any home audio systems.

For you that may mean- just assembling some high quality components. Or even going the 'Full Monty' and build speakers and the entire home audio system yourself. It's all here!

And if you can't find it- send me a message from the Contact Us page and let me know. I'll point you to the page or add your topic in- in as much detail as you like.

Write Your Own Home Speaker Articles:

I have put sections on the bottom of some of the pages to add your own comments and articles. This is an area where you can publish your own ideas. Published on this site, on the web, for everyone to see.

Undoubtedly, there are some of you whom are more knowledgeable than myself. So if you have a particular skill- Share It with everyone! Don't keep your knowledge to yourself!

Write an article that will help the Audio and video community. I will post your article as long as it is relevant and useful content that could help someone else in this hobby.

Why Did I Build This Website dedicated to Audio and Video?

Why did I go to the trouble of building an audio help-site that only sells a few products with very low profit potential? (The best product offered on this site is completely free.)

Click here for My Full Home-Speaker Website Disclosure.

I got started in home and pro audio about 13 years ago.

First as a music lover and consumer of all things audio and video.

Then late in the year 2000, I began serving as the sound technician at my local church.

In March 2005 I was awarded a patent, for a high fidelity audio cable. You can check it out on the Best Speaker Wire page.

The steps I took to build a home theater, home speakers, and stereo speakers became more than a hobby for me about 6 years ago.

It took me nearly 3 years to complete my first active digital stereo and finish building a home theater system.

It took about 200 hours to actually build the first system including the DIY loudspeakers. This time that I spent does not include the room construction of building the Home Theater.

The Home Speaker site Team Members:

The engineer that I use for complex Audio/video projects is Anthony Brubaker.

Anthony works at Timken as an engineer in Eaton Oh.

Anthony is also a great bass guitarist. He takes care of all the really hard engineering stuff that I can not do myself.

My wife Rachel is a pianist and piano teacher with a fantastic ear. She is also the worship leader at our church.

So I occasionally call on her and some of the other musicians to give me their ears, thoughts and perspective on a specific design I may be working on.

Read more About Me and the Home Speaker website business story here.

How can I help You Build a Home Theater or Music System?

This site lays out the instructions, components, and materials you will need to build a home theater or home audio system if you wish to.

Start out with the Home Theater Personal Computer or go all the way and build the Loudspeakers as well.

If that is beyond your ability or patience level, that's okay!

There are still plenty of options for you here.

For example: get some speaker plans and have a cabinet shop build speakers for you.

Another option: build your own HTPC. Building an HTPC is actually quite simple.

We help you put the Home Entertainment plan together (for free) so you can build what you are comfortable building, and subcontract out the rest.

Developing a playback system as we are describing in this site is better because problems can be easily corrected within the digital domain.

Not only that, we encourage the use of technology that The Major Retail Companies cannot yet use to their benefit. I explain this a bit in this article on Home Theater Systems.

This Hands On approach is in contrast to -being stuck with what you purchased from the retail store for years to come.

Admittedly, this is a more hands on approach and it will not work for everyone.

But, for the brave and resourceful, you have the capability to build a home theater or audio system far beyond -what is available on the retail market. And usually, for substantially less money.

Will it take some work? Yes. Some research? Yes. Will you be happier in the end? Yes.

I will warn you that it will take a little time to digest all of the information on this free Home Speaker site. But it will be well worth it!

I believe you will be able to Build a Home Theater Audio/Video system that completely fulfills your expectations!

Happy listening!

Peter

My DIY experience 1978-today. Warning Long post.  Not rated yet
I live in India. I DIYed my first speaker in 1978. I was 15 and I really wanted my own stereo (instead of having to use my father's).

We did not get ...

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 speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
