Yes...budget video please. Challenging myself to build a great pair that sound good enough for people to ask about and I can modestly acknowledge..."oh yeah, those are something I threw together in the garage"

Feels good to dive back in! I really appreciate you watching and commenting! 🙏🙏 Budget budget build will definitely get on the list.
DIY Studio Monitors based on Dynaudio with ribbon tweeters... This is exactly my dream build !👍 I can't be more happy to follow this video series.
Thanks for another great video! This really helps me to understand full details in designing the monitor speakers. Can’t wait for your next video!
Man I’ve been working in audio 10 + years and your telling them the sauce with the stats and the how, you’re a tank for that
I´ll watch the whole series, keep it up!! Greetings from Mexico!
This is a really cool video series, Kirby, thanks for making it for us. I voted for the home theater design but this was my second choice. I subbed since now you've really got me looking forward to future videos!
Such a brilliant and honest video. Absolutely love the way you present the projects. Also the honest mkb peace reference was well done 👍🏻 good on you mate ✌🏼
Awesome to see you putting out videos again, stayed subscribed just waiting for you to come back lol like everyone else, budget studio monitors would be a great video. Something I can make but not have to invest in so much as a first try lol
+1 for budget monitors series! Thanks for doing this!
I would ABSOLUTELY mix my tracks on a set of Kirby Custom (tm) reference monitors. These look slick.
budget-budget sounds nice
Wooo! He's back at it! :D
Keen on building my own soon :D thanks for the vid!
Really good content, I love the simple designs of your speakers.
Wow very informative video. Learnt a lot from you. I started my diy 3way monitor speaker design with ya! I cant wait for the building video!, thanks a lot!
Good to see you back on the Tube - looking forward to this build - was thinking a monitor could be my next build.
Amazing stuff. I'm on a budget of a budget of a budget right now lol
You're the man Kirby!
Always watch your videos brotha, and budget monitors are a good idea. And I love the Dayton audio reference speakers. I use the rs100 in my car audio 3way setup and do amazing. I cant wait to hear the demo .
Awesome!!! You really know this subject so well, so impressive . Stay safe
YES Definitely A BUDGET Budget Video doing the same thing. That would be amazing, thanks for everything your already doing. Your video is awesome. I appreciate you sharing all that you share...
Now that's what I'm talking about!
I have been on KZread for like a solid decade, I produce content as well. But you sir Kirby do absolutely astoundingly awesome on the commentary, and needless to say a superb job on the craftsmanship. I really respect your in depth ( specificational --- not a real word, i know ) and technical input. Excellent video quality as well. Will give you a subscription, already liked the video, and will tune in to check out more of your content. A+++++ Bro!
This is great. I'm really into it. ✌️❤️🤘
I know that this channel is oriented towards a Hi-Fi approach, but i would love if you could make the design and maybe the built of a small pa system maybe a 2.1, with a 3-way system or something like that it would be incredible! Keep the awesome work!
Hell Yeah!!! Kirby is a RIT alumni!!!!
I would love to see your attempt at the genelec “the ones”
Great vid Kirby, really interesting and helpful
Dude, this has been super helpful, thank you so much!!
Cool vid and Budget budget, hope to see that!
wow super eye opening for us Film Composers! christmas is coming early
Thanks for this. I need this. More success and blessings to you
Yeah budget budget would be fun! And length of video is fine. You are laying down tons of good info which takes time. Love the videos dude!
as a music producer, i value this a lot
Thankyou Sir! This is awesome!
Thanks for this!
Thank you so much Kirby, i was waiting for so long to see such content from your channel and its good to see, will be waiting for your next videos on Studio Monitors and next project on Home theater speaker series & on. Please include Dolby Atmos in home theater speakers :)
We are waiting for the next episode, and the result:-).
Great job, keep it up
Loved seeing a new design video from you and can’t wait for the rest! You picked the same drivers I keep putting in the cart myself. Oh, and I’d love to see a tight-budget 3-way design someday.

Sound quality awesome in this small size
Ok, you got a new subscriber. This series is just what I was looking for!
I'm game. Can't wait to see how these turn out. You've got a new subscriber here. :)
hello! can't wait for part 2!. Love your process. I just moved to a new place and I have to rebuild my studio. I would love to make my own studio monitors this time. I have a pair of yamahas hs7 and a 2.1 system very rare from an english brand I can't remember right now. Have a lot to do first in order to not get anxious but still hurry haha
Kirby - love the 8" woofers. So many of today's bookshelf manufacturers try to sell us on 5-6" woofers having bass. They don't. I would love to see you duplicate this build with more budget-friendly speaker parts that total under $250 for all parts (not enclosures). Thanks !

they have bass, just needs the proper design for it. a friend of mine built a 3 way monitor that uses a 6.5" driver for the low end, and it can go down to 24hz quite loudly

6 inch woofers can definitely have bass. The car audio community has figured that out. Ex: Sundown Audio U 6.5
Yes 🥰 we want budget studio monitor video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
When you do home theater, would you consider making a 3.0 sound bar with built in center, left, and right as a part of the system?
Thanks!!
Do make a budget monitor build! great video thank you so much for your knowledge and build!
Definetly budget speakers i have some bookshelfs i build 2weeks ago also budget each box has two ciare hw 129 woofer and one impact tweter from some car speakers (dont know the model number) they sound very good also the frequency range goes from 38hz-22000hz my frends came to take a listen to them and they just couldn believe how good they sound for they size. And you also need to use some oldschool drivers that would be interesting for budged othervise great content brother keep up the good work you are definetly a big inspiration to a lot of people including me have a great day
Awesome content, nice to listen and learn...
Nice project. Very nice.
super budget build pls!!!!! Great video btw.
Nice work 👌 sir.
The Dynaudio are the ones I have. Those are awesome, these resulted better than focal.
I just found this video and love it. What's the difference between monitors and "reference" monitors?
Hi Kirby thanks for the great content. I built my first pair of
I second the budget build. Don’t get me wrong, i’m a studio/audio head so I definitely wanna see how this more expensive build pans out but as a college student working on a couple of 2-way monitors modeled after the yamaha hs8’s while trying to afford to be alive, slightly cheaper drivers would be appreciated lol keep doing your thing Kirby. Love from Atlanta
First time viewer, love your videos. Much love from Eritrea
I have a pair of Behringer TruthB3031A's and they have ribbon tweeters. You won't be disappointed. These things have a clarity I've never experienced......not to mention the bass that just sort of 'exists' in the room. Kevlar woofs.
That tweeter array look like something that Tekton Design would sell haha. Really looking forward to that tweeter array build.
awesome detail, my goal is to do a wireless bluetooth build this winter!
instant sub sick content
When you calculate the enclosure's volume for the box within a box, you have to calculate the outside dimensions, minus the front side, of the internal box, when you are subtracting it from the over-all enclosure's volume, to figure out the volume for the main driver, plus the volume of your drivers, and any ports that set inside the box.
Wow. Was literally about to do this build ...but got afraid...then was gunna save up for LYDs.... Hmmmmm. Only going to go with a more powerful 8 inch. So stoked to see this build be completed
Nice choice of drivers! Not gonna knock it one bit. I love Dayton Audio drivers. I have multiple speaker setups utilizing just about every driver size they make including a pair of 2-way studio monitors. Never done the AMTs though, very interested to see how these things come together! Are you planning a passive crossover or going active?
Budget, budget. Would very much like to see a series on that!
Kirby you could minimise the volume of the mid enclosure by using some 4" pvc pipe instead of mdf

also a pipe reduces reflections vs. a square box for the mid woofer
Tight budget build for sure.
It's great to see someone actually break down the process of monitor building. I've been a fan of your work and I look forward to the rest of this project! Thanks!!
I finally made some speakers that were heavily inspired by this build. They use a Dayton designer 10”, morel 1308 mid and morel cat 308 tweeter. It’s so sad to not see you upload anymore Kirby. I hope you check back on your channel half as often as I do, because I’m ready for your glorious return. Cheers buddy
Hell yeah let's go budget
good stuff sir good stuff
Budget budget monitors would be great!!!
Nice video man! I’m in trouble getting some good monitors here (at some reasonable price) and I’m considering to build a pair... thanks for that help!
Budget build! Yes!
hey there, Nice videos. I liked the way you are explaining things around the topic. I would like to ask a question about, where I can find the class bi-amplifiers? I was looking in a website Sesmic Audio but they seems to be only for full range 2 way PA systems. Do you have an idea where I need to look and find the 3 way for studio monitors and especially when it comes to the watts section??
Do you have any specs per spectral decay, frequency testing, and or off axis response for these?
Wow just noticed you are still on here.So made up.Looking forward to this speaker,The last video that youtube recomended was that little wireless speaker.Now pressed the bell icon.Thanks for all the great ideas
Design the budget budget monitors! With a 10" woofer! See what you get :O. I'm considering making this myself
Could it be easy to use some Alesis Monitor One passive speakers with the amp from KRK RP5G3 and some high end tweeters? Would that be as simple as it sounds or would i run into other issues? Just get tweeters that fit into the existing hole then cut a rectangle the KRK amp fits in? or no? and why? ...PLEASE help me! Lol
I have b652s and would like some more treble. Can I add a super tweeter to top of them?
Budget video would be great as well as the sound test between the two
Wanna see a more budget video for sure. Maybe a 2-way system to make it cheaper. Entertaining and informative as usual. Congrats on your new shop helper!
Hey dude, any suggestions other than parts express where to source good speakers and drivers?
if you want the best budget tweeters I've heard, check out the peerless ring radiator tweeters. They're pretty great value.
I have the Alesis Monitor 2 speakers,and I want something just like that,passive,durable,and i want flat response speakers.I use them a lot with Djing/sound design,and i do want something with a low end,because I have analog synths.Should i mess with a pair of speakers and a sub?My main amp is a Parasound HCA power amp,and I do have some others.
I'd like to see a pair of budget powered bookshelves. I'm also looking forward to your home theater build series. Particularly if you're going to try and make it wireless.
You should use SB Acoustics drivers. They're the best I've come across for the price by far.
Adam are great, i have the A7X and they are like audio-microscopes :)
Also, I love your process dawg! Talking about living your passion and sharing it with us! You, Sir are truly appreciated!

Best "budget" speaker I built were a scoop design with some old Pyle 15" musical instrument speaker and Radio Shack 2x6 horn tweeters. Amazing earth shaking bass, clear midrange, and crystal clear highs. Neighbors hated me. But build for 2 was only $150 for everything.
Definitely do the budget budget monitors
Hi Kirb... waiting for episode 2... hurry up lad.... :)
Really like the prospect of this series. Subscribed. Hoping you show a budget-budget series too - a little lighter on the wallet to see if I get joy from building my own speakers or not.
