I took my dog out for a walk.
While it was ****ing on Smeghead's leg, he seemed distracted by:
If you have hands, the ability to use them and a spare moment you could
build a kit loudspeaker from the likes of Wilmslow or Falcon, IPL etc and
have much better bang for the buck.

Once upon a time, that was true.

Are you mental?



Unfortunately it is probably true. The value-for-money of commercial
speakers is much better than it used to be, while buying quality drivers
for DIY still costs a lot.

One thing is true though. If you make your own cabinet you can produce
a much higher quality if you're good at woodwork. The sight of £600
speakers with plebeian black vinyl wrap is horrifying. I wouldn't give
them houseroom.
