Despite the technical nature of the discipline, the appreciation of sound is ultimately a subjective issue.
I don't "make" things. I cannibalise broken or damaged speakers.
A desktop system brings different challenges. Your feet are generally 18" away from the sub and each satellite is only a couple of feet away from your ears. THe underside of the desk acts a low ceiling causing the sub to sound boomy.
I bought a cheap Bush sub from Ebay for £5.00 ($6.00). BUSH CHT100DVD HOME Theater System Subwoofer (NN) - PS14.99 | PicClick UK Beneath the macho (8") cover on the side-loaded driver is a wimp of a 5" unit. I have replaced this a 6.5" bass driver salvaged from a TDL studio 10 Studio10.
For the satellites I purchased a pair Ariston MX-30 (£10). Superb Bookshelf Speakers For Sale in Sprotbrough, Sth Yorks | Preloved
I am super-impressed by the results. It is probably the best sounding desktop system I have owned. The original unit was more than worth it just the port flare and the 100w plate amplifier.
