[QUOTE="Audio Bug, post: 97990, member: 2324"] Ian, when you know as little about speaker building as I do, it is exceedingly difficult to be more specific. I am keen to build a really good set of floorstanders; price is not the primary concern, but common-sense and the law of diminishing returns will dictate certain choices. My objective in starting this thread was to get some input from the gurus on the forum about choice of drivers, driver configuration, X-over design, damping material, etc. The posts already received have gone some way in enlightening me about the parameters of choice. (Thanks for that, guys). In my mind's eye, I visualise a speaker with a tweeter that sounds something like the berylliums on my Paradigm Signatures; a mid that produces clear vocals; and a mid-bass and a bass with pace, considerable slam and definition. ScanSpeak seems to offer a fairly comprehensive range of drivers, which are generally well-regarded. A friend of mine is a real magician with woodwork and has volunteered to build the cabinets. That leaves me with the daunting task of choosing and purchasing the drivers, etc. [/QUOTE]
