One set of designs that ought be much missed by DIYers (and everyone else) are the kit speakers from George Short at North Creek. Mostly pretty basic MTM or two way designs, with top quality components, often voiced to be placed quite near boundaries (very helpful for many of us), and sold at real world prices. Below is is somebody's very attractive build of the Big Kat. The smaller, and still very good, Eska was one of my first serious speakers, with figured walnut boxes built by George's colleague Lee Taylor. They still serve admirably as the fronts in my small home theater.
