There have been a few articles recently about building and modifying
speakers and I was wondering what peoples opinions were about building
audio equipment.

It seems to me that if one is willing to not count time spent on a
project (I love to make things, so the time spent is relaxing and fun
anyway) that in the mid-fi range a lot of equipment can be built by the
hobbyist with access to a modest shop.

Speakers seem especially suitable in this way. One can buy the drivers
and with the help of books and magazines like Speaker Builder one can
test and design a loudspeaker box and crossover. There isn't that much
black magic, is there?

Does anyone have any experience with speakers from Speaker Builder, or
electronics built from articles found in The Audio Amateur?
