Hi im starting my firts build, i was hoping if someone has some information of this build or if there is another easy option i should consider.
Jordidc16,
Welcome to diyAudio and good to see you getting ready for your first build. 🙂
You can also look up designs for the CHR 70.3 from Planet10. He has the Classic Golden Ration (CGR) versions of his Mini Onken designs available for free for the DIY community.
Btw, do you already have the CHR 70.3 drivers? What sort of music do you want to enjoy with these speakers? What amplifier do you have?

Greets!
Unless for up close listening (< ~1 m, desktop, etc.), you'll need a lower Fs driver with either more efficiency and/or more power handling, much larger cab for actual bass (< ~60 Hz) even at low SPL due to its low Xmax.

im indeed at 1m from my current speakers.
But since its my firts build i thought id rather take it easy and go with an easy dessing.

Those book-shelf speakers have good reviews from customers.
Are you doing a DIY build for fun, or looking for a change/improvement from the Elac Debut B6.2?

to be honest they do sound good, (i dont have any more references besides my cellphone speaker). But i dont realy like the appearence that they have.
im also building some furniture for my turntable and the amp, and i want them to match

Understand, no worries.
Hope you have an enjoyable project - both building the speakers and listening to them. 🙂
However, I am not sure if you will find nearfield (~1 meter distance) listening very pleasurable with a single driver full-range driver. They might sound a bit bright to you depending on your seating position.
If you don't mind me asking, which country are located in?

I've been using "full range" speakers on my desktop for over 10 years. Just depends on the speaker, the box and the environment. I'll never go back to a 2-way for nearfield listening.

jordidc16,
Another Mark Audio driver you can consider is the Pluvia 7.2HD:
https://www.markaudio.com/online_shop/pluvia/pluvia-7-2-hd/
These are probably a more expensive vs the CHR 70.3, but will be probably closer in sound to Jeff's set which I suspect is a pair of Alpair 7.3?
The Pluvia is also easier to mount as it has a thinner frame. For the CHR 70.3 you will need to make a rebate (groove) as the driver frame is thicker.

P7hd is a step up from CHR-70.
The Fenlon is a simple reflex designed by Scott, my CGR is a bit harder to build. https://frugal-phile.com/boxlib/P10free/CGR-dCHR-Ken-301113.pdf
