We can't think of a better way to spend a rainy day than starting with a pile wood (ok, these days most people buy our kits with an assembled cabinet that they just have to paint or stain...), parts and wire, and ending up having dinner, listening to your favorite music - cranked up on speakers you built!

Speakerlab has been building speakers and speaker kits since 1971; from the legendary K's and 7's, through some of the first subwoofer/satellite systems, to the recent NW series. Over those many years, tens of thousands have been sold worldwide because they are not only affordable, high quality, and great sounding; they are also a blast to build!

How do you improve on legendary success like that? Well, you could round up the original engineers (and a few new ones) and ask them, "if you knew then what you know now, what speakers would you design?", and that is exactly what we did! What they had to say was that the tenets of speaker design haven't changed all that much, but the materials and equipment have gotten better. So, over the next few months Speakerlab is going to build on history by re-visiting some old designs and developing some new ones, all with an eye to keeping what has always been great about a Speakerlab speaker (great sound, great output, great value) while taking advantage of the newest materials and manufacturing.

So, anyone for a 35th anniversary 7, or maybe a .1 that plays louder and lower? How about a sub/sat system that brings some dignity back to 'computer audio'? Let us know what you think, it is your passion for projects that drives our passion!
