Darren Kuzma is well known in the DIY speaker building community. His designs have proven to be very popular, thanks to his rational assessments of system goals as well as an eye and an ear for important details. We're glad to have him back for an encore as our guest speaker builder!

My last several speaker projects have been somewhat unique and specialized, and were designed for specific applications. Its great when you need a speaker for a particular circumstance, but probably not so good for the average audio enthusiast. As such, when a request came up for a pair of "normal" bookshelf speakers, I was excited at the chance to make a pair of nice allaround compact speakers. Nowadays, it seems difficult to find a compact yet not micro design; many people seem to either gravitate towards extremely small satellites or larger three-ways or MTMs. This speaker fills the niche between these created size extremes.
