If Lindsay found this personal, I apologise.
Any attempt to explain what I was trying to convey will become complicated, so best just to say sorry and leave it there.

I think that's pretty accurate description of what the average diy speaker builder goes through.Docfoster wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 12:05 am Building speakers is great fun, and relatively easy-peasy (compared to other primary components).
It'll likely take a long time (weeks) to tweak the sound to your own system, room and ears, but that's an intensely meaningful and enjoyable process.
I would encourage anyone with ears, time, access to free online calculators, the ability to screw a box together and solder wires to have a go.
IME It's possible to achieve something vastly superior to anything that can be bought for 5x the amount of money from any commercial speaker retailer.
Possibly they won't look as good. :-D
No , sorry, can't think of any. Mainly because I haven't heard any. My exposure to speakers is very limited cos I don't go to bake offs or hifi shows. I know one guy with some serious speakers- Wharfedale something or other but he won't let me listen to them.Lindsayt wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 11:05 pm Coming back to the original post of this thread, Richard nominated NVA and Klipsch as 2 speaker brands that he likes.
Would anyone like to nominate any brands that can be bought new today that they like in addition to, or to a greater extent than those 2?
Preferably with a brief explanation why.
There are companies like Avantgarde that make good sounding speakers, but the prices are so doolally high that I don't like them.
