The most fun you can have in audio is DIYing your own speakers

I am a hobby speaker builder. And I can say to how fun it can but, but it can also be frustrating. Also, it does take some equipment if you are starting from scratch. But I do think if more speaker buyers built at least a pre-built kit, they might appreciate what it takes to build a speaker.

It can be rewarding. My latest build is a small set that could be rebuilt for around $50. Of course, that does not discount need a table saw router, etc.. And IMHO best many of the speaker sold at big box stores costing a lot more. How good they would fair in the audiophile world with the well-known speakers. I have for sure heard more well-known speakers spoken of on audiogon that sound better. I profess to be no expert but do enjoy tinkering. And if it breaks? I can fix it.

Would these classified as diy?

Here is a pair speakers I have been Interested in for awhile now, whilst not perhaps fully a diy job as all the hard work has been done. Besides I am crap at Math and can't cut straight for toffee. I knew there was a reason for my purchase of 9 piece De Walt set, just haven't found it yet, lol.

Have you ever heard these speakers:

I really like how they look and if they sound good, might try to build them.

I've been thinking about trying to build some speakers for a long time but haven't done it.  I'm going to start simple, probably a little 2 way from Madisound.  One thing I'd like to do is build a box that is stiffer than the 3/4" MDF.  I was thinking about making the standard box, or very nearly, and then instead of wood veneer using some porcelain floor tiles.  There's a huge variety available and those things are incredibly stiff.  Has anyone ever tried that?
