Well, I'm sure it's possible given the right amount of knowledge and
craftiness, and I'm sure pundits on this list will point you the right
way. I just wanted to say that monitors, unlike regular loudspeakers,
should be calibrated (to be flat) and that might be time-consuming and
require additional instruments (though, of course, you'd have gear
tailored specifically to your environment at the end). I guess my
concern would be to make sure it doesn't end up costing as much as
buying a ready-made commercial solution.

Let us know how you make out.
