hello folks
why do people go out and spend multiple thousands on Loudspeakers.
when you can build your own for a fraction of the price.
are people lazy, stupid or just have too much money to spend
regards malcolm


I suspect it's fear of messing it up, coupled with having no idea of how it
will sound when done. I assume you're referring to kits available from many
places. Unless you live near to a place that sells them and has them on
display, the odds are you're getting a pig in poke.

If most folks knew what kind of quality was available from kit suppliers, I
think there'd be more participation. Those from Dynaudio, like the TWYNN,
which I've built, or those like the Thor from SEAS designed by Joe
D'appolito or any of his Focal designs offer big bang for the buck.

For those without tools and/or expertise in cabinet making Zalytron will
build them for you. Crossovers are generally sent assembled, so the only
thing really needed is a screwdriver and a crimping tool or soldering iron.
