These high-end 2-Way Monitors are based on our popular 1-1/8" Silk Dome Tweeters and 6-1/2" Classic Woofers. They were designed to provide low-cost, easy-to-build 2-way systems for the speaker-building novice. These kit-based systems can be built in a couple of hours and have sound that will rival systems costing two or three times their modest price!

The standard non-shielded version is an exceptional speaker for general listening in a bedroom, study, or living room. The new shielded version is outstanding for home theater systems or in any situation where close placement to a TV is required.

Overall, the systems are smooth and detailed, with a wide soundstage that belies their smallish size. The tonal balance is on the warm side of neutral, which is pleasing with most types of material. The bass is also impressive for speakers of this size.

The cabinets are made of 5/8" MDF finished in an unobtrusive "black ash" vinyl laminate and include grills with black cloth. All driver holes are precision cut with a CNC for a perfect fit. The tweeter is flush mounted to reduce diffraction effects.

Note: This system is offered in kit form and can be assembled in about 2 hours. The crossover needs to be assembled so soldering skills are necessary. We've included a tutorial that thoroughly explains the theory and design process making this kit perfect for educational programs. Each kit includes everything needed to build one pair of speakers.
