Crites packages are a great bargain. The Type B I also built for 2k will run with the Cornwall IV all day long. I swapped out the Sonicaps on the crossover board for 40 bucks worth of NOS Russian PIO and couldn't be happier..

What are some speaker companies that put all or most of their build budget into parts and design function and none or hardly none into aesthetic? If there was no wife acceptance factor and you didn't give a hoot about how they look what speakers would you buy?
