diy
first of all you ll have to decide what u want to go for
just high sound output or high sound out put all togther with pressure and proper sound dynamics in other words this will decide the size of ur speakers
and thus the nmber of drivers and the quality per channel etc
secondly diy speakers that i would recommed you should feature the best tweeters but as per a persons personal taste the tweeters to be used can be either soft domes or metal domes
soft domes sound more smooth and detailed
some prefer aluminium or metal domes just because they prefer a metallic sound quality or a very high clarity at lower volumes but these can somtimes sound harsh and cause fatigue to CERTAIN listners at higher volumes
and same is the case with selecting other drivers i mean mids and woofers
plz let me know what speakers have you auditioned and do you like the polks and also what kind of av reciever and other dsp's or amps you have
thanx
