A strange thread (not for me) for people who have lusted after one or more DIY speaker kits from Parts Express, etc., but have not ever built one, let alone ordered it!
Is it fear? (What if, after all that work, they don't sound good?)
Laziness? (You know, the more I think about it, that's an awful lot of work.)
Intimidation? (I'll f@ck it up somehow, I just know it.)
Indecision? (Is this the one to go with? Gods, there are so many and this site says such and such and that site says so and so.)
Okay, I'll go first:
1) X-LS Encore speaker kit. http://gr-research.com/x-lsencorekit.aspx
I have contemplated these for something like four years and have yet to pull the trigger. Maybe it's because I'm a carpenter and am having trouble doing work work in my spare time. Or, I cannot decide between the regular X-LS kit and the X-SLS kit.
2) Classix II MT bookshelf speaker kit. https://www.parts-express.com/class...-with-baffle-only--300-7110#lblProductDetails
How could you go wrong with this one?! 35-20,000Hz, an easy 8 Ohm load, makes all music sound good--Not that expensive, either. But there's that X-LS Encore kit! Hmm.
3) (Your DIY speaker kit that has never been fulfilled here)
