DIY. Whose speakers would you use?


If you could pick and choose from any parts out there, which tweeters mids and woofers would you spec for a DIY set of speakers? What about the crossover electronics? Which caps, etc? Crossovers to be internal. Amps SS.
Thinking caps on please!!
Emphasis on boxes for serious listening.
Thanks. Have fun with this!!

I use ATC(mids),Scanspeak 9700(tweeters),Volt 3143(midbass)and 2/side-12" Audio Technology)
Solen has provided me with crossovers as well.I have had great service from Solen,Canada and will look into more Audio Technology drivers for upgrades(midbass first) and maybe some cap upgrades(dueland) in the mid/hi section later
hi edge
Yes,Chris at Solen has helped me out alot.Being the only North American distributor for Volt and ATC drivers,he knows what the driver should do and where to cross it for your goal.I have owned $20,000 PMC MB2's,$15,000 IB2's and $10,000 IB1's and I will give them the tip of the hat but I get close enough for what my goal is for alot less $$$,but thats me.
DIY is all about your goal,dont forget.
For example
If I want hi fidelity
120-127db this would cost you between $20,000 to $75,000
110-119db $10-$20,000
90-109db $3000- $10,000
DIY is much less and can be fun(and frustrating).But its your work and pride that is satisfied.
Contact Chris at Solen Canada and tell him I sent you(LOL)and he will set you on a good path.
