Any one have any DIY speaker recs? Looking at less than 500 if possible.

Wayne J's Dayton III speaker is held in high regard. I'm actually building a set now (have had the wood cut for weeks)...

The PeeCreek is also supposed to sound very good:

The "MorePee" is a varient of above:

But I like monitor/bookshelf speakers so that's what I know best, what are you looking for specifically? Let me know, i've got lots of URL's of nice projects I've saved over the years!
Take care,
Nick

Not really sure. I don;t have the equipment to build hte boxes so I am looking for something I can buy the boxes for. The main goal is to save on the cost. I was hoping for the $200-300 range. I suspect that is in hte realm of book shelf

I own a pair, they sound like they cost several hundred dollars more. Search
audioreview.com
I believe they have reviews of the BR-1!!
The PeaCreek I mentioned above is a project design specifically around pre-made cabinents available for purchase through Parts Express... They sound
very
good from what I've heard.
