your own loudspeaker designs

Most of the fun with DIY is trying to get somewhere within a strict budget constriction - money seriously an object

 

I'd agree with that, and it is also where the real skills emerge.

 

absolutely

necessity is the mother of invention after all

skills - not just hands on practical, but more mind & lateral thinking - also this is where the real fun starts

 

having spent a shit-load on my DIY speakers, I would obviously disagree ! lol

Makes more sense (to me) to make some ''fake'' £100,000 Wilson Grand Slamm for £3,000 for example than some ''fake'' £1,500 standmounts for £500.... if you ask me....

but then budgets dictate spend...

 

where is the joy in copying? use a design as a basis yes but move it forward

How much do you think the £100,000 speaker cost to make by the way?

Real challenge goes something like :-

with driver in hand, money in pocket £0.75. What do you make the speaker cabinet with?
answer - wall paper paste & old newspapers to make papier mache (it dries rock hard too.)
