drivers for my diy

+1 on what verdantaudio said! Tony is great. I modeled mine after the JBL 4333/L300. Easy to find info and crossover help.

Start with an existing platform with lots of info. I'm good with wood and electronics, but never built home hifi, it's a new experience, great learning curve. Enjoy it!

Madisound all the way. Built mine from their parts 30 years ago. But look at the kits from Parts X for simple.

What about GR? Danny and the guy/girls that support GR are really good folks. Forum support on every phase right up to paint or veneers.

Madisound are excellent people to work with.  If you are looking for Sonus Fabre type sound, I would recommend the Seas Crescendo line of woofers and tweeters.  They are very good resolution but have a slightly soft presentation, almost tube like.  Here are recordings of speakers I built using both Seas Crescendo and the Seas Excel Magnesium woofers.  Both use the crescendo tweeter.

The Seas Bitfrost kit is a good choice if you are looking for bookshelves.  But Madisound will design a crossover for you on any of there components.  

I do do not recommend Scanspeak because they are just too r veiling, like a Wilson speaker.  Not like Sonus Fabre at all.
