I like DIY and made my monitor speakers a long time ago based on a design from a magazine (also sold commercially which I bought 20 years ago) but with different drivers and another filter. Been using the accompanying "subs/stands" a long time but now finished my new subs/stands with better performance. Ported (down firing) and tuned to around 21 Hz which is about one octave lower compared to my old ones (not really subwoofers...). Sound is actually cleaner and less boomy compared to the old ones, probably because the former ported design had a peaking in the 40-50 Hz region. So soon time to measure the system and do some adjustments. Some speaker grilles are coming as well. Will also add my separate active filter laying around (30/18 dB slopes), using HT amp 24/12 today.
