RE: Wood/Metal shop need good sound advice for diy. Another please help

My old listening room was in the upstairs of a 100 year old barn. I have had a myriad of speakers up there including a pair of Klipsch La Scalas, Snell Type A and the list goes on. I always did stereo and was usually impressed with what I heard. I built a pair of line arrays out of 3" speakers with 16 per side roughly based on the parts express link below except I used 8" pvc pipe and put in a port out of the bottom. They had 2 major advantages over my La Scalas. They were easier to move and there was no worry about if the crossover was correct. I had various people come and listen and they always agreed that the line arrays sounded better. As far as an amplifier I recently bought a nuforce dda120 off of amazon and I am not looking for something new in a very long time just hook it up via the optical out on your iMac (you will need to get a mini toslink to toslink adapter) and you should be good to go... with a little scrounging I am guessing a total budget of around $600 should surround you in good quality sound $300 for the speakers and $300 for the amp.
