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,

I picked up my NADA cabinets from Lee Taylor yesterday . Spent this morning and afternoon building them . Now I am listening to them with amazement . They are magical with my VTL-100 . In my system they sit on top of a couple of REL Subs with 2 more in the back of the room a distributed bass system . The kit was not cheap but sometimes you pay you get . After break in and some more adjustments good things expected .
I have reached about 40 hrs on the Klang & Ton Madisound kit - The Lee Taylor cabinets are works of art with the Koa wood veneer . The sound is the best I have heard in my room . These replaced a pair of Ohm Walsh 2000s . The price to performance ratio is a good reason to take the DIY plunge .
