Well, my 3 yo niece pushed in the tweeter on my meadowlark kestrels (RIP - BTW, if anyone wants them for parts and is willing to pay shipping from 61704 they are yours!). WAF for new (or audiogon) speakers is zero. System is a JoLida 302b properly rolled with cryo'd tung-sol EL-34s. A REL Strata II provides bottom end. I need to build any new speakers. The Wife is attracted to the Zigmahrnets based on the 6 moons review, but I'm not sure. I'm a fair to middle woodworker, and am attracted to the simplicity of the plans (back loaded horns look like a real pain to build).
Any suggestions for an easy to build (BTW - I'll need step by step help, I can work wood but have never soldered before and have no electronics knowledge / training) speaker for the system described above?
Thanks!

A single full range speaker is certainly the easiest of things to solder (you could even use spade terminals...).

I've heard it before, and (although it's hard to take recommendations from someone over the internet), they were stunning to listen to. Far better than any multi-way system I've heard since. They would need a sub (handy, as you have one...).
Oh, and welcome to the forums!

Could the Markaudio CHR-70 (https://www.madisound.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=45_241_309&products_id=8859) go here? I like the idea of extra high range...
I also found this online: http://www.markaudio.com/sites/all/files/pdf/plan-chr70-pensil.pdf Given the design the WAF would be high. Does anyone have any experience with it?

I'm a newbie, too! Looking at the Pencil designed for the Mark Audio Alpair 12. Seems like an easy build...
I built a set of Zigmahornets and i can tell you they are easy to build. as far as sound the imaging is incredible, they do lack the bottom end but the drop is around 80-90Hz. this may have to do with the drivers i used. took apart my Yamaha center chane, speaker and used the 4.5" drivers out of it. the WAF is HIGH! she actually loves the look and the sound. now i have to do something with my Audio Nirvana 8" drivers. not sure i can come up with something that sounds good and meets the WAF
