I could make my life really easy by just buying some Klipsch RF-82ii's, but is there a good DIY alternative to these? Making my mini-marty was difficult yet rewarding so I'm willing to take some time to make a couple of fronts so long as I can equal the Klipsch quality of my RC-62ii center (and also blend well with this speaker.) Additionally my four surrounds are Klipsch 5.25" bookshelves. This system is used 95%+ for movies/home theater/TV...not music.
Budget-wise I wouldn't want to go much above $600 for the pair considering the aforementioned RF82's can be had delivered to the door for $960 right now.
I'm also open to DIY bookshelves and assume the speaker I'd build should have a horn to match the Klipsch.
The site is down for maintenance- the alchemy series is rarely "out of stock" in terms of parts, site will likely be 100% again in the next week or two- you can search the forum here for details or read about it at DIYSG.
And yes, the bookshelf is wonderful- many happy customers, was just giving you the DIY closest match to the Klipsch alternative you were eyeing

While on the topic of RF-82ii... Has anyone heard these and how the compare to offerings like the 1099s or Bigger fusion kits?
I ask because I currently own them and thinking of upgrading if it's actually worth it.
I'm in the same boat. I have RF82s and RC-64. From what I've read, even the Fusion 8 MTM is an upgrade. I just can't decide between those or the 1099 for my small room.
