Whose design would fit in this space?

[samdee]

I am looking for a 5.1 build of a proven design that would fulfill these space requirements and conditions:

Unfortunately I have physical space conditions to adhere to.

Left/Right Mains: Must fit in a bookcase opening of 13" x 19.5 x 15"
Center: 4.25" x 15" x 15"
Surrounds: 10" x 8" x 8"
Subs: Will build a pair of Roman's Cerebus

Use: 60% HT; 20% SACD; 20% 2-Channel
Budget: Doesn't need to be budget, but not over $200 parts each.

Where can I begin my search?

You'll probably want to include depth to your dimensions (I'm assuming what you gave was height and widths.

The speaker dimension that stands out to me as a problem is the 4.25 inches available for a center speaker. You could look at nano neo's, New horizons, and wolf's dragon focals some of the smaller speakers that I can think of but I'm not sure if any of them would be built in a cabinet that small.

If you don't find anything better, the center I designed to go with my minions will fit your limitations if you reduce or eliminate the open compartment between the driver compartments. As I built it, it is 3.5" tall x 3.5" deep by 16" wide. By eliminating the center compartment, you can take 3.5" off the width reducing it to 12.5" wide or anywhere between there if you keep the center compartment and just make it narrower. The minions would also fit your other spaces. The good thing is they are cheap to build, so if you don't like them you aren't out much. If you look through the thread you will find someone built a set with two drivers to use for his pc speakers. I have built all of my minions using 1/4" mdf except the sub of course. I used a combination of 3/4" and 1/2" mdf for the sub.
