Build Your Own?


Was wondering…how many of you have built your own speakers? I have built two over the past decade. With the advent of computers there is such a plethora of information and programs you can use to build your own.

I have built my own some months ago, i mixed two of my favorite designs in order to make the perfect ones,
Space is not an issue, time is not even an issue, cash is not such a huge issue either,but, if only I was not such a putz or a clutz when it comes to anything where one has to use tools, be it power or manual. I would dearly love to have a go, but then again the missus would probably tell me to work on the house rather than add another pair of speakers to the clutter.
I would only attempt to build a pair if I could improve on what I already have, maybe I could improve the BLH Nagaoka's used with Fostex FE168Sigma cones, but there would be no way on earth I could improve (or even get remotely close to) the wonderful KCS 150's that adorn my ears and eyes every day.
I just finished these they are new cabinets for speakers I had already built. They use high quality ScanSpeak drivers and I love the way they sound.

Djn04, thats an interesting design. I bet it sounds good. I built a replica of this: http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Andromeda%20Mk-II.html
I was studying sound schemes and speakers also comparing to get better results when building my own custom made speakers.
