Troels Gravesens website went to the favorites list, very good thread here, knowledgeable, experienced posters.
Between this and the Pro-Amp thread I’m researching useful info.

The most fun you can have in audio is DIYing your own speakers
I am a hobby speaker builder. And I can say to how fun it can but, but it can also be frustrating. Also, it does take some equipment if you are starting from scratch. But I do think if more speaker buyers built at least a pre-built kit, they might appreciate what it takes to build a speaker. It can be rewarding. My latest build is a small set that could be rebuilt for around $50. Of course, that does not discount need a table saw router, etc.. And IMHO best many of the speaker sold at big box stores costing a lot more. How good they would fair in the audiophile world with the well-known speakers. I have for sure heard more well-known speakers spoken of on audiogon that sound better. I profess to be no expert but do enjoy tinkering. And if it breaks? I can fix it. |
Would these classified as diy? https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis93e98-hand-crafted-full-range-loudspeakers-full-range |
Here is a pair speakers I have been Interested in for awhile now, whilst not perhaps fully a diy job as all the hard work has been done. Besides I am crap at Math and can't cut straight for toffee. I knew there was a reason for my purchase of 9 piece De Walt set, just haven't found it yet, lol. https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/full-range-speaker-kits/fostex-bk-20-folded-horn-kit-pair/ Hey JohnK- I've still got the oris's with no desire to part with !!! |
