advise on 2nd build

[Mindcrime]

Hey Guys,
Ok I know this may open a huge can of worms, and I'm sure this has been addressed a thousand times, but here goes.

I'm thinking about building another set of speakers, I just built my first set of Cyburgs Needles to get my feet wet. They are pretty cool, I was impressed by what a tiny little 3" driver can do, however they are just not my cup of tea, so I'm going to give them to my daughter, they should make for a nice set of apartment speaker.

I'm looking for some suggestions and opinions, I'm not an audiophile by any means, however I do know good sound.

I was thinking about a set of these for my next project, any thoughts or suggestions?

Well, now you know what you don't want, I think you've gone some way to defining just what is your 'cup of tea', I depends on what kind of music you listen to, how loud, how big your room is ....
I'd suggest that if you're not happy with a small FR driver, next step is a 2 way with a 6.5" woofer min, using drivers known to have good FR response and low distortion...

I haven't heard Lou's Schticks, but everyone who has built them has reported very positive results. Plus, Lou is a great guy.

I have built these. Similar price range; they sound phenomenal. You would not believe the sound you get for the price

My floorstanding 3-ways are mostly open-baffle. But lately, I've been working on a series of tall 2-ways (which I'm really pleased with the results so far)
