This high-end Full Range Stereo Speaker set was designed around the Markaudio CHR-70 4 inch full range driver in a front slot ported bass reflex enclosure. The goal was to have a premium quality point source full range speaker with premium quality parts that will not require a correction or crossover circuit. The Markaudio drivers are surely very good and perform with low distortion and overall very flat frequency responses out of the box, and are perfect for this application. When following the build plan, it can easily be built with everyday woodworking tools and by someone that does not have advanced woodworking skills.

When following this build plan, the end result should give you speakers that will have the following approximate specifications:
Drive Unit:
- Full Range Driver: Markaudio CHR-70
Enclosure Description:
- Bass Reflex box system
Frequency Response:
- -3dB at 47.5Hz and ±5dB up to 20000Hz on reference axis with peak at 13KHz
Sensitivity:
- Approximately 85dB
Impedance:
- 8 Ohm (Nominal)
Recommended Amplifier Power:
- Approximately 20 to 50 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms

The speakers use no passive correction circuits or crossover parts and is pure full range. I include an option for an active Plate Amplifier for those wanting to set up desktop monitors. The plate amp can be tuned with Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to create a very flat response of +2dB across the 200 to 20000Hz frequency range.
