I am thinking of doing a DIY speaker project, but I have no idea where to start ;)

Let me start with listing what I would potentially want to achieve:

- 2-way standmount with good low extention(smallish room 3 x 2.5m)
- Simple as possible crossover, if possible I would like to buy a crossover instead of having to try and make one(my soldering skilss are terrible!)
- I DO NOT want anything that sound like the smaller B&W's or KEFs. A similiar sound to Sonor Audio's would be perfect - smooth highs, low extention without booming bass
- Power handling around 100w, impedance around 4 ohms should be fine
- Cabinet construction MDF with either veneer or else there is a possibility that I could get hold of some Australian Jarra and try a 2-layer construction.
- I would love to say money is no object, but off course it is! On the other hand there is no urgency, so I could spread the purchases over a period of time

Any pointers?
