7 arguments in favor of building your own speaker system from scratch.
The easiest way to buy high fidelity speakers may not always be the best.
Because a complete pre-packaged system may be far from what you need.
Consider some of the advantages of separate component loudspeakers:
1. You choose from an almost infinite variety of sizes and levels of performance. Your system will exactly reflect your specific listening preferences.
2. You save space by building speakers into walls, ceilings, closet doors, even in floors! Or use existing cabinets or custom-built enclosures that better suit your decor than any mass-produced system.
3. You enhance the illusion of "live" music by hiding or disguising the sound source. You listen to the music not the speakers.
4. You end the conflict between fine sound and handsome decor by making the speaker system an integral part of the room or the furniture.
5. You save money by paying only for performance.
6. You can up-date your component system as often as you wish to meet advances in the state of the art.
7. You can use the building-block method of planned improvement as your budget permits. There's no problem of being "stuck" with a compact that fits today's budget but can't meet your ultimate listening goals.
