QUOTE about the amp kit, why it is a great sounding DIY amp.:-It is just a LM3886TF which is fully insulated all over so requires no mica insulation kit. But the trick is in the circuit as it allows for balanced input and volume control with no extra IC's and keeps the LM3886 stable in all conditions. The LM3886 oscillates below the gain of 10 so the normal way to balance a LM3886 works fine until you unplug the input and then it goes supersonic oscillation at full power which tweeters don't like.
The number $2000+ Amps I have seen with the LM3886 chip in them these days is huge.
if you wanna build speakers i think all you need is
1-the enclosure
2-crossover, 1 per speaker which are like $30
3-JLM amps
4-power supply 25VAC
5-wire
6-soldering iron
7-some very good speakers

So, quality wise, this would not be out of place pushing a pricey set of speakers for some high quality sound, yes? I see plenty of chip amps getting around these days, all with good figures/specs.
The LM3886 amp is good and would take a lot more $ to get a small percentage better.
Still the largest percent of error is in speakers themselves.
i hope i made some sence here
GL with it all
