Got sent here from r/budgetaudiophiles after looking to replace my Klipsh bookshelf speakers. I love music but know very little about good speakers currently. Im looking for sources that have all the parts i need for a good bookshelf build and possibly a sub. Basically a kit or something to help me decide on parts. I am an engineer in the electrical field (granted i work on data centers) so I’m not a total noob with electronics.

Also does the enclosure material make a big difference? I see a lot of mdf and wood that look like .5-.75” thick. I have a laser cutter that can cut up to .25” wood that i would love to use if the material thickness is less important.

I'm going to buy some myself probably today and see. Reviews seem very very good. I even saw someone say they prefer the C-notes to their Genelecs on some material.

Make sure you do the capacitor mod if you get them and line the walls with some damping material.

That’s honestly impressive. At that price i might just get some to try out regardless of if i keep my current setup
