Hi all. Found this forum as I was researching speakers. In the future I plan to build a 2 channel setup...well 2.1 as I enjoy subs. Hope to gain some newfound knowledge here.

As you like subs you would try a easy to made OB full-range project as LiiAudio F15 or F18.
Lii Audio F15 FR driver $399/pair, not each.
Here Decware OB with the Lii Audio F15 driver:

If one have a woodworker is possible try the Lii Audio F15($399/Pair, pair not each) 97dB/8Ω and benign impedance curve suited to OB or Bass Reflex box or the F18($540/pair), no Crossover, no Tweeter beaming, no Phase rotation, no driver sensitivity loss, no Harmonics loss, no Retail price.

My personal choice is the Lii F18 in Single Driver configuration, but if you make question of wanting a 2-Way speaker you may want a bigger woofer than the Alpha15A, so there are W18 inches and W21 inches from Lii Audio, personally I dont like these two VCs woofers, they are hard to drive with a small tube amp.

I do have a strong interest in single driver setups so I will definitely check out the fullrange driver circle. I started my research looking at Omega speakers which led me here. Thanks!
