When talking of full-range, world class speakers, DIY must be the only secret for the mediocre wallet; there are many choices. Here are but a few, and I strongly urge a visit:
http://www.linkwitzlab.com/ The incontestable magician of open baffle speakers and crossovers (i.e. L/R x-over, Audio Artistry speakers) -- i.e. dynamic speakers with the speed of stators and bass to match.. (An A'goner, steved, has built these)
http://www.speakercity.com/GRProject/PhlRevProject.shtml following up on a previous post;
http://www.kingston.neostrada.pl/ With a Raven II tweet & ATC units thereafter.
Last, but FAR from least, do check out the (in)famous Ariel: http://www.nutshellhifi.com/Arieltxt1.html#top.
While none of these designs are cheap, some of them are very extravagant indeed. Aimed at those who cannot afford the commercial equivalents (running easily over 20k).
Cheers
