I put together a pair of bookshelf kit speakers from Parts Express for an old buddy who didn't have anything decent to listen to. The C-Notes. They were an easy build, the panels fit tight with cnc cuts. I only altered the plans by using 3/8ths dowels from the baffle to the back to stiffen it. The crossover was populated with good parts and the little buggers, I thought, sounded really nice from my audition before sending it on to him. I finished it with some leftover red oak paper backed veneer and dark Hammerite spray on the baffle. I'd also bought to power it a little bluetooth integrated amp from Fosi Audio.
He's enchanted with it, my friend down in Alabama. So, these kit speakers, some are a real competition with more expensive ready mades.
