Anyone here a speaker builder? My favorite thing to do is to find lost gems that sound better than the price might indicate. I am currently building a set for a friend. I actually am using the same tweeter used in the m-more. Very nice for the price and also using a low cost 10inch woofer. My friends is on a budget and so far the system sounds great. He came over and listened to it. He said his brother just bought a bose system and the setup I'm building just blows away his brothers system. I know! Most of use know Bose just is not very good. But it was neat to see a non audiophile hear a non box store set of speakers and hear the difference.

I shot a frequnecy response yesterday and the crossover does need some refinement, but so far so good.
like i posted many times before ,, i like my lores i bought the bubinga finish ,, very sharp looking , but ..but the measurements that are posted on the website do not add up , im talking about the low end , they are fine speakers , it is just some went off on how they are worth 10x the price , i did not get that statement then and still dont . saying all that i am keeping my lores , im not selling them off for the next great thing to come along .i just laugh when you here someone make these unbeleiveable claims about any product . thats what i was talking about when i mentioned ,,the hype about these speakers.
Cpapace, I've built some speakers and really enjoyed it. Next on my list was a full range + tweeter, like the speakers being discussed here.

But when you price out the parts to build them, including Eminence full-range drivers, tweeters, "crossover" parts, cabinet materials, veneer, misc. hardware, and so on, you realize that these folks are not making much money selling these things for $800-1000. Compared to many commercial builds, you really get a lot of raw materials for your money.
even if we all had the 'identical' make and model gear and played 'identical' sources we would not have identical outcomes. quite simply that is because of the differences in each of our individual situations. we have different rooms, different electrical circuits, etc., and we hear differently. our experience is our personal interaction with the 'objective' reality and the outcome is uniquely our own. it does not exist nor is it relevant without our perceptions. blessed is the person who has clarity of the factors that shape their own perspective and understand and actualize their own preferences without diminishing the validity of any other person's genuineness. i think if you are enjoying the music you must be enjoying your life. forgive my rant.
