DIY Nearfield Monitors


Two questions on this topic, please.

First, can anyone recommend an OEM supplier for single, "time aligned" and/or crossoverless cone drivers?

As mentioned in other threads, I am increasingly listening to music at my desk, in the nearfield, at lower volumes. Could this type of driver work well in that setting?

Second, I have never built or commissioned speakers of my own design, but I am wondering if there are any DIY or off the shelf cabinets available similar to the WATT type monitors, with a more interesting shape than the usual boxes?

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.

Depending on design... if
Driver spacing and any driver staggering
Or mounting type, I.e. flush mount
Etc, the answer would be yes...
If not, you could hear some differences
In time alignment or cabinet
Diffraction
Also, you would need to make sure
That if the wooferis ported you
Would need to alter the porting
For the current box
