What would you advise for a novice like me? Just a conventional standmounted passive. Is the sound mainly influenced by crossovers used and drivers or how solid the box is?
I can highly recommend building your own speakers and you don't necessarilly have to stick to kits either, there are lots of plans availble and plenty of helpful people around if you have a little know how and a lot of patience!What would you advise for a novice like me?

Good luck!
I've seen IPL speakers. They have the transmission line, like the PMCs. They look tempting.
Way too large for my gaff. If Mrs. P was to see them she'd lay an egg
Plus one for me for KJF Audio and Stefan . Currently on PFM he has some prototype Markaudio full range drivers that could be used in the FrugalHorn XL build which are going for £60 per pair plus VAT and £8 postage which is less than half the price for the current equivalent . As he only has 30 of these you would need to be quick .FrugalHorns are pretty sweet, Stefan is an ace bloke too.
Steve Cresswell designed these with help from Scott lyngren (Scottmoose) who has many full range and multi driver designes to his creditTry Zigmahornet; these are called Metronome FE127e.
