The PE Usher kits, designed by Joe D'Appolito (who also did design consulting on some of Usher's high-end assembled speakers) offer exceptional quality for the price.

You might also check into kit offerings from Madisound (especially the Zaph Audio designs) and Zalytron. These all include cabinets.

Dennis Murphy's "Plop in the Box" design (see Murphyblaster Productions) uses the GR Research midbass driver, the BG Neo 3 planar tweeter (a VERY nice unit for the price, and the PE .25 cu ft cabinet. Dennis is an excellent crossover designer, who consults for several small high-end manufacturers.

If you want to build (or have custom-built) your own cabinets, you have many more choices. North Creek offers some very high-end kits with Scanspeak drivers. GR research has some good, economical kits with their own OEM drivers (made by TangBand?). Look also at the various free designs published by Zaph Audio (John Krutke), Lone Saguaro (Lou Carragio), Speaker Design Works (Curt Campbell) and Troels Graveson, among others.

The PE "Tech Talk" discussion board is an excellent forum to inquire about what else is available. A lot of really talented folks hang out there, and most are friendly and helpful.
