Well I finished getting my signal path mostly in order. It's at least functional for computer speakers at this point. Zhaolu DAC balanced outs to an SM Pro audio volume control balanced outs to a behringer A500.
So i've got 250 watts per channel to work with, and a dell 30", so i can get some pretty large speakers. DIY is first priority, so if anyone has any suggestions for nearfield designs that would be appreciated. Limited to 8" drivers maximum, other than the width the other 2 dimensions can get pretty large (within bookshelf proportions, 25" tall isn't unreasonable), meaning things like MTMs are preferred, and 3-ways are preferred if baffle step compensation is suitable in nearfield (<2 ft).
No subwoofer currently, though one will probably be added in the future.
