Hello all,

Planning to build a set of speakers for my wife's office. I use the speakers when I am working upstairs so I want speakers I like too. I was thinking Speedsters. They are smallish (my wife would be happy a pair of 'tin-ies') but would be something I wouldn't be ashamed to have in the house;).

I do crank the office speakers occasionally when I am doing roaming housework so I think I might need an amp with a bit of oomph. I don't have any experience with small amps like the lepai that I was thinking about having power.

I am just in the planning phase of this, any suggestions will be considered. Thanks in advance.

Why it has to be so complicated? Why not active monitors - ok, not pretty, but several good ones in that price range
like LSR305 or Focal Alpha 50
or if pretty is more important : Swan M200MkII

Once you've heard the sweetness of something you banged out with your own two hands and assortment of power tools, it's hard to spend 'more' for 'less'.

I think YAA has built just about everything there is to build out there but I think I'm still in my DM phase. Knowing nothing about anything mentioned so far in this thread, I'd shoot for a CAOWI. That would be my climb up the food chain.

1. I like building! :D
2. I want to match the walnut desk with a walnut veneer.
3. I've built my ER18s, tritrix, overnight sensation side speakers, and a my sub. I haven't tried speesters.:rolleyes:
