  1. Amazing value for these small speakers review by Orange DIYer on 5/22/2023

    I bought two of these two years ago and never got to finish them. Recently I gave them to my 12 year old. Under my tutelage he was able to solder the crossovers, and we assembled the flatpacks in less than a day. Took him a while to get the paint in decent shape, we just used a good primer, tons of sanding and two shaker cans of green. My son assembled these with some minor help. They look really good on his computer desk. He connects his Nintendo Switch to his screen and these speakers and plays Zelda on it. Amazing, I'm sort of jealous for giving him these. I intended to use them for my 2 channel vinyl setup i my office. I might just buy two more in the future when they are in stock again.

    I wish I can attach photos here....

    We love these, we love DIYSG kits! Go Erich!

  2. Absolutely Amazing Speakers review by Bryce on 10/11/2022

    I absolutely love these speakers. For their size they are truly amazing. I currently power them with a Dayton Audio apa150 amp. I use them almost exclusively for music but have taken them outside for an outdoor movie and they did great out there. Very clear and effortless sounding. The build was super easy. I plan to make another set in the future.

    These are amazing. I got 3 of them because everything else was sold out and couldn't wait to start a new project. Well they arrived today and already have them built, stained, wired and running some of everything from bassnector (edm) to incognito (jazz) and every genre in-between. Well ill say this, I'm happy I went with these. These are a must have yall!

  4. Sublime! review by T on 7/7/2020

    I am in the middle of restoring the outside of an old 1940's console radio and decided to build one of these speakers and operate in mono connected to an Alexa all stuffed inside this console. The sound for a single speaker is very true to what the artists intended for us to hear. I have been listening to this speaker in my shop and every single genre of music I throw at it the speaker has yet to let me down. I tend to prefer 70s and 80's music and anywhere from Rock n Roll to more of a hip hop style Bruno Mars offers up. I have even went as far as to play classical, jazz and reggae all of which sound perfectly balanced. Running as a mono channel obviously lessens to the sound stage a tad since I don't have a separate left and right channel for the music to run through and I can only imagine how massive these sound while operating as a pair. I have purchased and listen to a lot of speakers but this is the first DIY I have built and listen to. Did not disappoint and I am getting ready to build another set for a family member and maybe upgrade to something a tad bit larger for my workshop though its not needed at all.

  5. Easy build, great sound review by ProfessorSabre on 9/9/2019

    Built three of these to serve as L-C-R for a mix of music and home theater use in an 18 sq ft. room with an Onkyo 95-watt/channel receiver paired with a 12" sub.

    Sound is clean and crisp though other comments that the speakers sound their best at higher volumes is accurate. They put out a nice amount of base so you can crossover the sub pretty low as your setup demands. Sound stage is wide enough to fill the room without any muddy spots.

    Construction was simple, especially with the specially designed PCB board. Just note that there isn't anyplace to zip-tie the larger coil down so you may want to hot glue it before soldering. Don't make the same mistake I did and use the rabbited back panel as alignment to keep the sides square during the initial glue up. The speakers are not a permanently closed design when I'd have preferred to hold the back panel in with screws for repair/adjustment access. No need for speaker or port gasket tape, the pre-routed baffles fit perfectly with no rattle.

    Overall a great speaker for the price, ease of construction, and ease of finish with the clean baltic birch ply.

  6. Really good experience review by Rado on 12/16/2018

    This was my first time ever doing a DIY project like this and I have to say I am more than pleased with everything.

    Starting from Erich responding to my every stupid question (remember, I've never done this before) to the quality of the finished product.

    The packaging is so sturdy, could withstand a drop from a truck. The way Erich and the team have made the kit is so easy to use. Quality of the sound is awesome and I'm definitely going to do more of these for the sake of "practice makes things perfect"

  7. HT center channel review by djg on PE Tech Talk on 10/6/2018

    I recently drastically downsized my HT speakers. I had a pair of S2000 TMs, figured see how they sound. After large towers with 4 7" woofers and a 7" woofer MTM center, I was very surprised at how nice the little S2000s sounded, so I ordered a S2000 MTM for my new center channel speaker. Built in 2 days with a painted baffle and Danish oil on the birch. I initially hooked it up in my 2.1 PC sound for testing and initial impressions, it was much louder than the TM on the other channel. Loud and clear.

    I then installed it in my HT. Very clear dialogue, really noticeably better than the mismatched TM I had temporarily put in the center. So I can recommend a front HT system of S2000 TMs and a MTM. I imagine 3 MTMs would really surprise a lot of people.

    I can't give a detailed review of a stereo pair. In my usage, the S2000 really shines.

    IMHO, these are winners, TM and MTM. Definitely worth continuing, the new and vastly improved Overnight Sensations.

  8. Wonderful Desktop Monitors review by Popeye714 on 7/18/2018

    I chose the s2000 MTM's b/c I wanted a desktop monitor for music with a strong mid-bass section, a small(ish) footprint, and attractive to look at on my desk. I can't say this for all of the decisions in my life :), but this was a good one! As previously stated, very neutral overall sound quality with a slight bass lean. The highs are relatively detailed w/o sounding fatiguing. Yes, I've heard better, but nowhere near this price range. I'm sure this comment is starting to get old. But, the bass response from these things is rather impressive. To give you an idea. I have an extra sub sitting around that I planned to use with them. After a few tracks, the sub was sent home. For my purpose, it simply wasn't needed. The strange thing I noticed is that the bass/mid-bass just gets punchier as they are turned up louder. Perhaps I am just impressed that those little mids can keep up? Anyhow, I digress. Enjoying them immensely. I did take the time to cover them with a zebra-wood veneer and they look great on my desk. A very attractive design. Take the time to put a nice finish on them and you will not regret it. Highly recommended.

  9. Great all around speakers review by Simyn on 7/2/2018

    These are nice little speakers in a small package, competent for movies and music.

    I built them using the flat pack. It was very precisely cut so it glued together easily. You could easily make due with just a few clamps because of the small size. Cross-over was easy to layout and solder without a PCB even for a first timer. Enclosure is stuffed with poly and I removed the port extension and just used the main section. That makes it ever so slightly shorter than the specs. I sealed and stained the birch flat pack directly with a walnut color and it came out looking nice. Easy to get a good finish without the expense of veneer or trouble of paint.

    Once finished I was impressed with the sound. The first thing you notice is the bass coming out of such small speakers. They can handle most types of music easily even without a subwoofer. They don't have the lower range for pipe organs or dubsteb, but pretty much everything else within reason is all good. Of course for movies, cross over to a sub in the 60-80Hz range and they have enough punch to integrate even with a larger sub.

    They throw a pretty wide sound stage, with good detail and imaging. Highs are detailed but are not fatiguing to listen to at high volumes and the mid-range is clear. Powered with 105W per channel they get satisfyingly loud in a medium sized room. I think they might be a little strained in a large great room or something like that.

    I have a pair of NHT Super One 2.1's which are a bit more expensive than these. The S2000s have a comparable upper end, but with much more bass. Without making a detailed comparison they sound at least as good as the NHTs in their own way.

    There are other designs both DIY and commercial that might be better suited for specific applications, but if you are looking for something that's good at most everything (desktop, 2 channel, HT) these would be a good choice.

    I built the Overnight Sensations last month for my mom. Great little speaker. They’re blown away by these. Just finished to today as a gift for a friend and very pleased.

    Very capable speaker...neutral with a slight bass lean. Great wide soundstage. Can stand on their own without a sub as long as one is reasonable. Magical with female vocalists.
