Speaker kits recomendations Maybe Horn TL hybrid lets talk speaker kits


After reading many threads on speaker building ( you guys sparked my interest thanks) I'm interested in putting together my own speakers for a second system. this is for pure fun and saving money is nice as well.

I do not have full wood working facility's so it will have to be a flat pack type of build. Pre cut cabinets may be the ticket, as I am not a wood worker by trade  ( Aircraft Tech, Electro Mechanical, minor in Electronics and Engineering are my background ) but I do have access to a wood working shop co-op on the military base for finishing. 

I've been reading the various speaker kit makers, Fugalhorn, Moral audio, Madison sound, part connexion, fostex, ect. so I'm familiar with some of the main sites. Are there kits I'm missing? What do people recommend for kit manufacturers? Obviously I need to decide on a design I'm trending to a Horn-TL hybrid but I'm very open to suggestions.  I own MTM's as my main speaker so I'm aware of what that design can do as well as most 2 way designs I think I'm looking for something different though. preferably higher up on the efficiency scale as I'd like the option to use lower powered amps but not necessarily a must. I'd even consider powered speakers. 

Do you know of a good horn loaded kit? Horn TL hybrid kit? or do you have something totally different that may spark my interest. Subwofer is something i'll do next I think we will see. 

 This is a fun project for me but still wanting good sound from the finished product. Cost is not really a consideration I'd tend to spend a little more for better quality parts but I'm open as this is my first build. lets keep it under $2k but in no way do I need to spend that, couple hundred is fine for a good end result too. I know first time I should buy cheep but then I'll have a speaker I wont use so may as well take my time and do something worth having in the end. 

I'm open to suggestion if I'm thinking down the wrong path.

I recommend everyone on this thread go over to DIYaudio.

You'll find people willing to buy raw drivers, as well as great advice on finding a starter kit. :)
The Solstice kit from Parts Express is the best kit I know of that also includes full cut wood parts.  Everything else is pretty much "build your own cabinet".  It uses pretty good Morel drivers, but it still may not be to the level you are looking for.

Erik-
I signed up there ( dyiaudio) couple days ago so reading some there as well. 
thanks 
"auxinput- Solstice kit"
I've been eyeing that very kit on parts express as a candidate for a first build.

also the fugal-horns seem a less expensive alternative for breaking into horns. I live in the same city as Planet 10 too.

Just to confirm, the Solstice kit is for ONE speaker at $539.  So you would have to buy two if you want a stereo pair, lol.
auxinput: yes i realise that thanks though, 

I'm still not sold on them yet as the efficiency is not as great as I'd like, I do not have an amplifier in my house that could power them at the moment. Also the TriTrix MTM TL is another one I'm considering from parts Xpress.   I also own MTM Living Voice speakers I'm leaning to another design type. 

I'm leaning to higher efficiency, reason I'm thinking a horn system or TL hybrid maybe. 

Still looking and reading all the information I've been given - gathered. I may do something more exotic and have a local cabinet builder assist me in the cabinet work. we will see what I end up with.
