How do your main speakers sound?

They turned out really good i think, There really strong/accurate in the imaging department.

How were they built?

MDF cabinet, well braced etc.. red oak Veneer.

What drivers did you use?

The adire audio DIY kits. AV8 mids, and tweeter.

Did you buy plans?

They came as kits, with the xover pieces, and basic plans.

How long did this project take?

I also built a center channel and surrounds. The speakers probably took 2 months (weekends only) i guess.
