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!!

Tpreaves,
They, (SEAS), were on my preliminary short list for drivers. Madisound and Parts Express seem to have everything you could want/need for a project of this type.
(except of course ambition and cash!! :)
Thanks.

Mclsound,
Senior moment I think!
You were saying you used the Solen caps to construct your own crossovers, correct?

While there are excellent parts available, in order to have an "audiophile grade" speaker, you will need an engineer to design the crossover.

GR Research, not a doubt in my mind. Danny sells complete kits, or you can by pieces and do you own thing, and he seems to know very well what sounds good. He also designs drivers for his and other speaker vendors.

Most audiophiles are aware of the varying degrees of "good".
