Hello to everyone,I work more than 20 years in club, but now in this pandemic I stop working and the loud sound miss me a lot.
I need help to make, high power speakers and I hope to help me to choose best drivers for this.
I have home speakers which is not enough for me, I want power like in the club, but I dont want to buy some ugly PA spekers for my living room and for that I decide to ask here for help to boyld towwer spekers.
I love to work with wood, but will need help for choosing the drivers and filters!
I thinking for 2x15 inch for bass in each cabinet and i hope this will be enough for room of 50 square meters!
I prefer good deep bass and with good detail mids and highs!
I hope to fit in budget for drivers around 1000-1200 euro and I hope to can find the drivers here in Europe!
I will be grateful for your help 🙂

When you do not have the gear for measurements and experience how to use it, I would recommend a kit like this
PA Loudspeaker Kit B&C + Oberton
It comes with plans for the woodwork, but you are flexible with that.
The volume and baffle width has to be kept tho

You'll also find some nice good documented designs on the B&C website. B&C really stands out in the tradition of good Italian pro speakers. Have a look at the U12 design! And add some subs (also there) to it.
B&C, Faital, Fane, Emminence and Beyma are pro audio brands who's drivers are often also fit for hifi use. If you are used to pro audio, maybe use a dsp like in pro audio and some of their better amps to drive them.
That plan from Bansuri is a good example of such a build, but it needs a good sub to go low enough (55Hz F3). You could combine it with the Monacor SPH-380/2-BR subwoofer kit: Subwoofer mit SPH-380/2-BR

No, but i hope not something too big.Any constraints on dimensions?
Be careful of those ears, what with 20 years of high db SPL exposure under their belt already. As an aged one who can no longer hear stuff in recordings I used to 20 years ago - it doesnt come back. Just sayin'...

Lately im very busy and no much time for listen music, and when me and my family is in the mood, I want to have power and to make little party with excellent quality of sound 🙂
I already have Behringer DCX2496 and several Parasound HCA 1200, but i think will need some pro amp or more powerful than this and will buy, but first I want to build the speakersB&C, Faital, Fane, Emminence and Beyma are pro audio brands who's drivers are often also fit for hifi use.

Smaller = more expensive, for a given amount of bass.I thinking for something like this, with smaller drivers!
Maybe, this ist interesting for you:
Asathor - 15" + Horn
My Room ist 40 square meters plus another 20 from the open kitchen. With my small Marantz PM-66 it is no Problem, to generate very high SPL like in Clubs.

Probably will be more expensive, because i will need to buy 4 pieces 15 inch drivers.Smaller = more expensive, for a given amount of bass.
Thank you for this link, I will look at it now.Maybe, this ist interesting for you:

Can I use this driver's, I ask because they have huge difference in sensitivity?
For highs - SB Acoustics SB26ADC-C000-4 SB Acoustics SB26ADC-C000-4 - 1.1" Dome Tweeter
For mid`s - LaVoce WAN153.00 LaVoce WAN153.00 - 15" Woofer
For highs - SB Acoustics SB26ADC-C000-4 SB Acoustics SB26ADC-C000-4 - 1.1" Dome Tweeter
For mid`s - LaVoce WAN153.00 LaVoce WAN153.00 - 15" Woofer
If you biamplify them and reduce the woofer volume at line level.
It's also possible to pre-equalize the signal at line level,
if you can't biamp them but must use these particular drivers.

From an acoustic point of view, that doesn't make sense.
Ok, I understand, I plan to use only one amp for mids and highs.
In this case I must choose different driver for the highs, because i want to use this driver for mid range.
Which one will be better ?
FaitalPRO HF108 8Ω FaitalPRO HF108 - 1" Compression Driver
JBL selenium d220ti https://www.parts-express.com/pedocs/specs/264-270-d220ti-spec-sheet.pdf
Im new in this and just instal Xsim to try to make passive filter for the mid and high!

I try to put them in Xsim, but when i put some resistor, grafic become bad with big distortion, i dont know where Is my mistake 😕
After reading in forums and checking several brands for best speakers for my needs, I see that on questions which I ask, I can answer after reading in diy forums!
I needed some guidelines and thanks to everyone who helped me with suggestions, but in fact I wanted alone to come to this conclusion, that these speakers are best for this price for my needs and one more time thanks to everyone!
For the high, by lots of tests which I see, this is my choice: BMS 4550
For mid I decide to use this : LaVoce WAN153.00 its very sensetive, but I don't plan to use all its power, because the subwoofer won't be able to reach it.
After traig in WinISD lots of simolation of difrent speakers including car audio and PA spekaers, for the sub i decide to use : Dayton Audio RSS390HO-4
