If you don't really want DIY you could check out the new GMA Rio speakers, or the Vandersteen "monitor" speaker (check out the Vandersteen website).
DIY Nearfield Monitors
Two questions on this topic, please.
First, can anyone recommend an OEM supplier for single, "time aligned" and/or crossoverless cone drivers?
As mentioned in other threads, I am increasingly listening to music at my desk, in the nearfield, at lower volumes. Could this type of driver work well in that setting?
Second, I have never built or commissioned speakers of my own design, but I am wondering if there are any DIY or off the shelf cabinets available similar to the WATT type monitors, with a more interesting shape than the usual boxes?
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.
