Here are my choices:
The Vifa studio kit from Madisound
The Seas Cygnet kit from Madisound
The D'Appolito from Parts Express
I'm really only looking for two channel stereo sound with good imaging. I will most likely add a sub and amp later on if I'm not satisfied with the low frequency response. This is my first home audio system so I wanted to keep the cost reasonable and the install simple. I'll be using these kits with an Onkyo universal DVD/SACD/CD player and Onkyo 8522 stereo receiver. I feel 100wrms per channel should be enough for any of these speaker kits. I chose these kits because they allow me to be "hands on" as far as the electronics and assembly without having to do any woodwork. I am no carpenter. I chose the Onkyo receiver and DVD/CD player due to their good reputation as being quality items at reasonable prices. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.
BTW. I tried to post links to these kits but I haven't reached the five post mark yet. Sorry.

looking for possible improvements that have been made to the design but not yet updated in the original post.
