Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

that's whats great about DIY

You have the ability to tweak the crossover to YOUR liking, that is of course if you have the knowledge and equipment to do so, which I do. Hu, why do those manufacturers stay in business? Profitability! Merlin offers a superb product, I agree. I've heard DIY speakers that have used the same S-S driver and Dynaudio tweeter that I've liked more that the Merlins. I've compared these DIY MTM's (with some slight crossover mods) to my previous commercial speaker that I gave to my father, Audio Physics Virgos $$$. A very musical speaker indeed, I along with others agreed that the MTMs were more involving and had equal tonal balance (coherance). The simple fact is that I've spent under $1000 on a pair of speakers that I had the best time building (I built the cabinets) and I (I repeat "I" me my me me me they are MY speakers) love listening to them even though they cost 1/5 of my last comercial speaker.
