Loudspeaker DIY Kits any suggestions???

I'll second the Linkwitz Orions. I finished with these after owning Martin Logan CLS, Genesis V, Newform R645, and Watt/Puppis amongst others.

Steved -- are you multiamping the Orions? I'm interested in tackling these or the Phoenix -- but would probably opt for bi-amping only (i.e. main panel passive/bass).

Im not a professional cabinet maker. I'm just a 25 years old college student hooked on stereophile and love woodworking. I'm building a pair of speaker right now to go with my krell audio standard.

Hammer Dynamics Super 12's - Adire HE10.1's

I have both and they are excellent. The Adire's are very even throughout and are pretty generous in their room setup. While the Hammer's are a bit more detailed, but need to be carefull in crossover components and the rest of the system to keep the high fq bump/harshness in check. These have wonderful imaging but are very sensitive to setup.
