you don't learn much just by building a kit although it can be rewarding. You can learn a lot online without getting your hands dirty and for free. or get a dsp plate amp and then you can try multiple drivers whereas with a kit you only get to hear one design. Do not be duped into buying expensive kits. The whole point of DIY is to save money.
Seas 2.5 Way Graphite Kit - Delling
Hi Everyone,
It was getting to be that time of year when I encourage audiophiles to build at least one speaker pair in their lifetime as a matter of personal growth and education. The more builders we have in this hobby the less we rely on PR and reviewers alone to influence us, so this is something I feel has broad value to our hobby.
Anyway, I was checking out Madisound, and discovered that Seas has released a 2.5 way kit which looks very promising. 2.5 way speakers are, IMHO, some of the best designs for the average living room. Highly efficient, deep bass, small footprint so easy to live with overall.

At around $1,750 for the parts, including a crossover, this is not the cheapest possible kit, but certainly far cheaper than a commercial speaker would have to be.
Unfortunately I have not heard this pair myself, and I worry it may have a little extra presence, but that’s the beauty of DIY, you can tailor your sound directly in the crossover.
Best,
Erik
