Building my own monitors.

[The_Laughing_Man]

Yeah, some of the guys I used to run our rig with now build soundsystems professionally, however for studio nearfiled monitoring you are playing a different game.

There is less precision involved with soundsystems.

Unless you are an accomplished accoustic engineer there is simply no way you are ever going to build anything worth even pissing in for studio use.

The most important thing to spend your dosh on in the studio is your nearfields. The sound making device.
Save up, buy the best you can for your money, don`t be a cheapskate.
Good monitors will last you for life.

What are your specifications? I`d have thought the ONLY primary specification for a studio monitor is to have the best and most accurate, level sound reproduction possible for your money.

To be honest I'm testing myself more than anything. It isn't a cost issue that stops me from wanting to buy monitors, the parts for building my own will cost a pretty bit of cash.
Thing with me is, I like to build and make things.
My specifications, meaning what I want out of speakers is absolute clarity. Not an ounce of muddiness if you get me? I want perfection. :lol:
I want to build the speakers out of proper timber and not chip board. I know a furniture maker who will give me the wood (a favour for the furniture spraying I did for no money). So I need to find out which type of timber has the best acoustic qualities.
