what drivers are best? thinking of a DIY project

Elevick. 47 labs makes some great stuff I will look into the Jordans and Madisounds website thanks.

Elevick are you talking about the Jordan EIKONA speaker? Also could you direct me to a website that features your 1/4 wave transmission line cabinets? From what I have seen the design varies and also look a bit complicated. The drivers are intriguing for sure.

thank you for taking the time to help me

The second link should have plans. These are loved by all because they are so easy. The Jordan driver used by 47 labs is just a modded jx series driver. The 92s is new but should all be the same. Not cheap though.

If I were building these as a beginner, I might be inclined to start with cheap 4" drivers from Fostex or similar. Once you are blown away by that quality, then upgrade drivers.

I'll try to upload my office system today or tomorrow so you can see what I'm playing with...

Elevick thanks for the links I see now about the easy cabinet design. I am getting cold feet a bit because I have such a big room (about 16 x 28) but may build these with the cheaper drivers as you suggest (and consider it an on going quest). The magic midrange and perfectly blended highs can be really good I know as a former owner of Quad 57s.

Phil,
I just uploaded my system "My Desktop System". Should show in forum threads.
I did have these in my living room which is 15 x 25 and they did great. Imaging was beyond expectations. I was only using 10 watts so it wasn't earth shattering. 30 watts would have done the job.
If you are worried about filling the room you could consider adding a sub? I did try supertweeters but these are so efficient that it was hard to pick up on the gains. Come to Pittsburgh and listen for yourself?
