Wilmslow Audio http://www.wilmslow-audio.co.uk/ do a pretty
comprehensive catalogue and a simple Google search should bring you
plenty of designs.

My own view (listening as I write to a pair of KEFs I built thirty years
ago, gawd help me) is that you may as well buy second hand off ebay and
the like, or from Richer Sounds or similar. Older speakers hold up well
unless they've been terribly over driven and/or the tweeters blown.
Building is great only if you are really in to it.

Cheers,

Hi all,

I'm after a 5.1 surround setup, and I've been looking at sets like the
Acoustic Energy Aegis Evo 3 and Epos ELS3 5.1. Both are around the
1000GBP mark and both are highly rated by the Hi-Fi magazines (for films
and music).

I know I have the DIY skills to construct and finish MDF speaker
cabinets, but know basically nothing about speaker theory.

Is it really possible to create a set of speakers that have a better
price/performance ratio than an 'off the shelf' product, and where
should I look in order to source drivers and tweeters?

Many thanks,

Sploo.
