The design and drivers used in this speaker build project is inspired by a few manufacturers that have used similar off-the-shelf drivers in their commercial designs. Some of these commercial speakers retail in the region of US$4000 for a pair. Considering that the total cost for the drivers I am using are less than US$200, I set out to design my own set of speakers using some of these drivers. I am super happy with the outcome. These speakers are now my favourite to listen to right now, and I think they will be for some time to come!
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Fountek FE85 driver seems to be either out of stock, or discontinued. Either way, I am working on an update for this speaker with a new driver, and will be releasing updated build plans hopefully within a couple of months from the time of posting this comment. In the meantime the current BUILD PLANS have been removed from my webshop. I apologise for the inconvenience, however these are circumstances beyond my control.
