Just for the heck of it I was looking around a speaker drivers, speaker kits, and DIY speaker supplies in general. In that process I came upon what looks look an incredible deal on an excellent, complete DIY kit.

Parts Express is offering their "Solstice" MLTL (mass-loaded transmission line) tower speaker kit for only US$498 each. (I'm in no way affiliated with Parts Express.) For under a grand plus a little labor you get speakers for which you'd pay $3000+ in finished form.

Each kit includes one Morel CAT 308 tweeter and two Morel TiCW 638Nd 6" woofers, plus all crossover components, cabinets in in knock-down format, plus virtually all hardware and stuffing. On top of this you get free shipping State-side. The is amazing for less than 500 bucks: the Morel woofers alone are $244 each.
