I am trying to find a speaker design to build, being capable with my paws but not being a speaker design Guru.
I hear good things and like the look of Curt and Jim's creations, but a number of the designs I like are either just too big for the room they are intended for (Statements / SII), or there are drivers in them that are no longer available.
I like the Finalists which are an older design, but I have recently discovered there is an update to them - the Travelers. From what little I can glean they would be near perfect for my needs. Trouble is the only place they and their plans seem to be available is Meniscus. Or rather was. I hope they enjoy retirement.
I can probably find the drivers and other hardware, even here in the UK / Europe, but without the plans for cabinetry, crossovers, a definitive list of drivers etc I am stopped before I even start.
So does anybody know where I could get the plans for the Travelers?

Thanks for the reply.
I had spotted Jim Holtz here. That's one reason I floated the question on the diyaudio forum. I don't like to hassle busy people with personal messages when the wider audience may know the answer anyway.
BTW there is one too many dot in your link to www.speakerdesignworks.com
Been there but the Travelers aren't on there.
I assumed it was a design for sale as kits through Meniscus but now they have retired I was wondering if it had become more widely available.

I am a newby speaker DIYer that is very interested in building a 3 way speaker similar to the Traveler or Finalist designs. Where can I obtain a full set of plans for these speakers or suggestions on another similar sized speaker design with similar performance? All advice would be greatly appreciated.
crcline,
Send me an email and I'll get the Travelers plans to you. The Finalists are NLA due to the tweeter and the mids not being available here in the US.
Option #2 is to send a message to Curt at his website ( www.speakerdesignworks.com ) and he'll do the same thing.

Better take option 2. I was notified of a death in my family and I'll be out of town for a few days.
