Thanks to be a part of this place of knowledge.
Been hooked on the hooby of 2 channel hifi in search for better and better sound.
Now come to the point where I like to build my own speakers.

Currently system used
WIIM Ultra streamer
SMSL SU8 DAC
Yamaha AS1200 amp
Project Debut Pro with Ortofon Bronze
Focal Aria 926 speakers

Next step will be building a high end stand mounted speaker and hope to find good advice on this forum on selection of kit to chose

Now come to the point where I like to build my own speakers.

Welcome to AC 
If one have a hi sensitivity speaker as 100dB or more(rare) and bening impedance curve there is no much things to upgrade to have a great system.

A hi efficiency speaker will allow you take vantage from inexpensive small tube amps which have great sound quality and save a lot of money:

In case of sole FR drivers speakers as Lii Audio F15 or F18 OB will have less cost yet hence no crossover, no driver sensitivity loss(1dB), no enclosure and no retail price:

Others small amps suited to hi efficiency speakers are First Watt(expensive), Chip-amps and GaN-FET amps.

This is a inexpensive DIY project from an AC member,
It have only four (4) parts:
Eminence Alpha15A + 4.7mH + Visaton B200 and a MDF baffle.


Other option are the Lii Audio F15 FR driver $399/pair, not each.
Here Decware OB with the Lii Audio F15 driver:

If one have a woodworker is possible try the Lii Audio F15($399/Pair, pair not each) 97dB/8Ω and benign impedance curve suited to OB or Bass Reflex box or the F18($540/pair), no Crossover, no Tweeter beaming, no Phase rotation, no driver sensitivity loss, no Harmonics loss, no Retail price.

My personal choice is the Lii F18 in Single Driver configuration, but if you make question of own a 2-Way speaker you may want a bigger woofer than the Alpha15A, so there are W18 inches and W21 inches from Lii Song Audio, personally I dont like these two VCs woofers, they are hard to drive with a small tube amp, they have two Voice Coils.

Thanks for suggestions. FullRangeMan
I have heard a few OB in audio shows that sounded OK.
But all of them multi driver units and BIG.

Those here are little more size friendly. Still a challenge with WAF on those
My thoughts are on some 2 way standmount. strongest contender now are some with purifi driver and a ribbon tweeter and passive radiators.

On paper I think it is great combo
