I have gone this route and built what I think are pretty darn good speakers using Dayton Audio and Morel components, and a professionally designed crossover, but now I want something new and they are nearly impossible to sell, even for a fraction of my outlay. So there’s that.
DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea?
Looking at the high quality of drive units in DIY loudspeaker kits like from Madisound, GR Research, SEAS, etc., it easily looks like a sonic bargain.
However, the typical audiophile mantra is to demo for yourself to find what subjectively “resonates” with you. Can’t do this with a kit. But a kit could be a sonic jackpot for one on a tight budget. Also seems fun to build.
What’s your opinion?
