recommendations for large speaker kits or DIY

This is what you are after:

Magna Cum Laude

It'll set you back about 500 bucks. Should be real nice sound, and you can buy all the parts except the cabient in one place!

Try to get a copy of How to build speaker enclosures by Alexis Badmaieff and Don Davis,It has blueprints for altec's bozak,with material lists etc.Has good info on big old fashioned spk's.If you want plans for jensen folded horn,E-V Aristocrat,Baronet,Patrician,I can send those to you if you email me.KEITH

S7,

I love the PartsExpress mothly project! For anyone interested in speakers, sign up for the monthly PE catalog. It's really fun seeing the projects they come up with.

Enjoy,

I don't know your budget but this one sure is good (great)...linkwitz orion

Linkwitz Orion is a superb sounding speaker IMO, but it requires a fair bit of money and/or expertise with the electronics (crossover and amplification) to do it right. You can buy a very good used pair of large speakers for less than the cost of building the Orions.
