The most fun you can have in audio is DIYing your own speakers

You don't have to make the best speakers on earth, or most expensive, and you don't have to become an expert in the tech, but in all my years in audio, I have to say DIY is the most fun and educational. For me, speaker building was a lot more fun than electronics (amps, pre's etc.) 

Lots of great sources for complete kits as well as paper-only designs. Speaker building is also a great thing to do with your kids. I highly recommend it.

Best,

Agreed with OP. I once did it. It was fun and I could learn a lot in the process. Here is my DIY speakers, except for the cabinets which were old speakers.

I was happy with my DIY speakers, so I wanted to build a really nice pair. But after sometimes considering my wood work skills and the fund that was needed to get the tools, I had to give up.

Since seeing this post and suggestions on the cabinet makers, I start thinking again about making a pair. It should be fun.
