DIY high end speakers?

Is there any consensus on which of the published (via Internet) speaker designs / kits are actually worth it? I am very handy (I design and build furniture as a hobby and have a full shop) and as a result am considering going the DIY route for speakers but I need a starting point for my research.

What are some good links and resources for me to check out and see if this is a good way to go?

Thx

Metro, I've been hiding in my woodshop building countless speakers! :) I did some work for a speaker manufacturer for a while that kept me busy.

Peter, I didn't realize you did those for PE. They've shared a large number of designs over the years.

There is more than one Proac 2.5 clone floating around, but honestly many other designs have come along that are far superior than those clones.

may I suggest http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Diy_Loudspeaker_Projects.htm and http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/index.html . I've built 2 pairs from troels' designs - I intend never to buy commercial made again.
