I'm looking to build a pair of fullrange speakers but i am a bit concerned about which one to build. I'm currently using a pair of Cerwin Vega DC-10 with a poor amp and analog source from computer. The main priority who is a must with the new speakers is better sound quality and soundstage.
My budget is around 1000€ and should cover a pair of speakers including construction materials, a new appropriate amp and a dac if needed. I have great potential when it comes to building so i think that any construction will be fine.
I have read a lot of good things about Mark Audio Alpair series and even though I have never listened to any Mark Audio, I feel that there is a speaker that I would like to try and use for my project. I've read about the pros and cons of various speaker sizes and I think that the Alpair10 is what I'm looking for (but I'm not sure).
My room is about 4 meter wide and 6 meter deep. One wall is made of cloth and the other is of plaster, walls are made of concrete (living in the basement). I am usually listening about 4-5 meters away from the speakers, some few times closer (2-3 meters). I'm listening to all kind of music but mostly rock and acoustic/live.
My question is, which speaker, design and amp may fit my room and requirements best? All suggestions are welcome!

. I've been thinking a lot of diy the amp and electronics actually, but I have no clue about which kind of amp that may fit me. The only amp kit I've been looking at is a 300B valve amp kit (however, very expensive). About a subwoofer, I prefer to keep the speaker in a pair of cabinets. I don't want to use a separate subwoofer beside the other speakers due to the space it takes. I don't mind at all to use several drivers as long as I'm able to keep them in the same cab. I also prefer to not have a port backwards to the wall due to the frequency gain (I don't want it to be boomy).
