Please show the group where this "prepackaged set" can be purchased.

Madisound actually has a 2-way kit listed on their site that has superior
specs to yours - for under $500.

Than mine? I didn't know I had a two-way kit.

Does it sound better? Probably about
the same. You seem to think that how the tweeter looks or its type
of construction makes it automatically sound better. It does not.

Sure, you have to assemble it, and the cabinet could have a better finish,
but a few sheets of sandpaper and a little $5 can of MinWax varnish will
fix that. As long as there is any sort of veneer, it can be stained and
varnished to very good results.

It has better, more expensive drivers than yours uses, and a simmilar
cabinet volume. The crossover is nearly identical to yours as well.
A little sanding and varnish and you are done.

People will notice that the guts of this kit looks suspiciously close
to Greg's design other than the tweeter(which at this price-point is
cosmetic as good planar drivers start at about $100)

Trotsky's competition. This is hand-down a better speaker. It's the
flattest, most accurate tweeter Seas makes mated with two of their best
woofers. Note the several hundred hours spent tuning the bass by
Murray Zeligman. Oh - those are expensive caps as well - not junk.
$1160 with cabinets. It looks like a competant design, overall.

They also sell the Thor, which is a bit better, but I'd get the
standard crossover and upgrade it to the "premium" one myself and
save some money.(mostly swapping components - the board is virutally
identical)

Another competitor - if you like Vifa better. $505.

As for me? Probably make something like the Cygnet but use a
Morel tweeter instead. Seas seems to make excellent woofers,
and Morel excellent tweeters. - definately good enough for
a pair of computer speakers. Well, MY idea of "computer speakers"

You seem a bit confused. First of all, you don't seem to know whom
you're addressing. Second, absolutely NONE of this has to di with
Arnold's false claim.
